It's a Floosie!

House-elf had the great idea of a Floosie swap-a swap of a fat quarter that you just don't know what to do with or that you no longer like.  Well, if my Floosie from Anne Marie is any example-I want to go sewing at her house!  Look at the lovely goodies she sent me.  The fabric is lovely and I've already put my phone in the little phone case. One the left are two cute little stitcheries that I'm really tempted to just start working on.  The little cake there is lip balm-so cute-and that tiny tin contains a 60" tape measure. What a great idea to keep it tidy.  Anne Marie, you've really spoiled me today!

She may have been onto something. . .

So Susie may have been onto something!  This doesn't look bad at all.  It currently measures 87 x 58 as it lies in pieces.  When sewn together it will be a bit smaller.  I may do a stop border to go next to the binding.  So my goal now is to make all the blocks I will need-seven maybe?

It's a TOP

It's a finished top.  Well, I say finished.  I'm going to have to shorten the top and bottom borders-I think they are too long to fit the batting!  I bought a twin size batting on sale for this quilt.  Still need to make the back and then I can send if off to Karen the Quilter.

What to do what to do

So I was totally stuck on my Camp Peanuts quilt for Tig.   As I lay awake with insomnia the other night the first step occurred to me: Take the Darn Borders Off!
 This is how it looked with the borders on.  I mistakenly put these on thinking I was further along than I was. (Wishful thinking!)


So I took the borders off. Kind of a fresh start like. Not bad. If this was for a baby or toddler I'd probably stop here.

I had made several blocks, meaning to use them before adding the borders. Should I add them to the top or the sides?  My friend Susie recommended that I use them on the side and add the previously removed borders to the top and bottom.  That might just work.  I'll lay it out tonight. I'll probably remove the red sashing between the existing blocks.  In any case, more blocks must be made!
