I finished six filler blocks this week for the BOM Rehab project. My block for next week will be a basket block for this same BOM, which is several years old and called Simply Sophisticated, fabric by Blackbird Designs. Who knows, if I get the notion, perhaps I will make a block for my 2010 Designer Myster BOM as well!
If you are interested in joining in the BOM Rehab group, go to Pink Pincushion and tell Sinta you want to play.
I decided after seeing Paulette's Winding Ways quilt that a checkerboard border was the way to go with my blue version. If you don't follow SweetP Quilting and Creations, you might want to do that asap. Paulette is just so creative and prolific! Anyway, here is her quilt-
Is this not gorgeous? Paulette did a combination of stitch in the ditch machine quilting and hand quilting the flowers with perle cotton. I love how those big stitches stand out. Yes, I am considering doing that as well! The stitching on the darker blue fabrics in my quilt will be very Sashiko looking.
Here is my copycat version--
You can see where I am going with this. Right now I am really hoping I have enough of the navy left to make the outer border outside the checkerboard.
Such a miserable rainy week here last week. I sure hope the weather clears up and so do the dogs. Here are Ozzie and Remy in the Observation Chair--too bored to even bother looking out. Remind me to wash that chair cushion and tuck it under the quilt. Ahem.
