A Busy Week

At the start of the week I quilted a baby quilt for a friend (and talked Mereth into binding it for her). It was pieced with minky in several spots, so I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but it behaved itself and looked really nice.

Then I trimmed the four heart quilts I quilted for another friend and got them ready to pick up.

While the machine was stitching on the baby quilt I cut borders for the Periwinkle top. This is the first border finished, the others were waiting their turn. I'll have a decent photo to post tomorrow.

We went to the closing-down craft shop twice, and raided the shelves for anything useful or irresistible.  Not a lot appealed, but at least we can be assured that we went through all of it and picked out the good stuff.

On Wednesday night we were going to dinner at a friends house, and I cooked two Chinese dishes that afternoon.  I think I used every dish and frypan and spatula I owned. But it was all very good, and everyone else contributed a couple of dishes so we had a proper banquet. It took a while to clean up afterwards tho.

What next? Remember this from maybe 2013?

It's been in a box ever since I finished the blocks, and I need to see it with some progress.  I need to work out the size of the little coping border that will help the border triangles fit perfectly. It will mean a bit of calculation, but it's not impossible. I just need to apply myself to the problem.

I'm going through the blocks and trying to remember if I have any of those fabrics still in the stash. That will keep me quiet for a few nights, as I go through every scrapbag and box. But it should be fun to revisit all the fabrics I used.
