I have been working on a quilt top that I made quite awhile ago. I made it with several dusty pink fabrics in a simple square pattern and I embroidered a couple of butterflies on one of the squares. This last week I sandwiched the quilt together and have quilted flowers and leaves in an allover pattern on the quilt. I backed it with a dusty pink kona cotton. I love the kona cotton but it is very hard to needle. My fingers are quite sore, both from needle pricks and from the stress of needling the fabric. Now I have started quilting the border and can see the end of the tunnel. I really can't wait to finish this one. I need to find the tin of Bag Balm I have somewhere! :)
Also tonight I was able to cut out the binding for my blue and yellow star quilt. I had forgotten that I had to finish this up. Thank goodness I was able to find the matching white background fabric. Sometimes I use up the fabric I intended to use to finish a quilt and then am out of luck! Skittles has claimed this spot as his own and seems quite comfortable to supervise my stitching the border on the other quilt.
