It's done whatever it is



Piped windmills, 30.75 inches square.

Finished the blocks and added a border yesterday. Not enough piping fabric left to add some between the blocks and border. Oh well. I took the class to learn a technique and didn't really have a plan for a quilt. Now I have a 30.75-inch square top that is a complete composition. Not sure what to do with something that size. Table topper maybe. There's no piping in the middle so you could put a vase there and not have it wobble.  

Piped binding sample from class.

I don't see myself making another top with piped blocks, but I am planning to try piped binding in the future. I've already made the top. Just need to get it quilted so I can bind it. Ah, another UFO awaits.

From the archives



Henry's quilt.

I finished the baby quilt and delivered it.

I'm all about the straight-line quilting!

Then I dug out another one of my UFOs.

Only plan for this right now is to have it done.

Not as old as the flag quilt. This one can't be more than four years old. Four blocks done in a class based on the book "Piping Hot Curves" by Susan K. Cleveland. Eight more finished this week.
 

Tools of the trade.

The book's instructions are clear, and I was able to pick up where I left off in class all those years ago. I like learning new techniques. You never know when you might need them, and they can be a source of inspiration. Not that I need more ideas. Time. That's what I need. Any ideas for getting more of that?
