I'm working on a queen-sized bed quilt for the guest room at my Dad's cabin. I made a quilt for him (about 20 years ago) that is currently on the guest bed and I wish I had a picture....it was peaches and browns...with a light cream background, if I recall. Some pattern I got out of an Ocean Waves book..in 1992. I think I used some sort of puffy polyester batting and I tried (read: failed) my hand at stitching in the ditch. Anyhow, I think it is time for a new quilt....
I'm using the leftover strips from Ryan's bed quilt and doing 100 Courthouse Steps (lazy log cabin) blocks. I think they will finish to about 10 1/2" square...making a 100" square quilt. If it needs to be bigger I can add some strips for the border. But being bold and brave, I decided to tackle all 100 blocks at a time...hmmm....So I sew a bunch, then iron a bunch, then trim a bunch....etc. ;-D
Watching some DVR'd episodes of "Justified" and trimming....that is my Sunday plan!!
Looks good. I love Courthouse Steps.
ReplyDelete1992 does not seem like that long ago.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt will look so great when it is finished.
