So, I didn't do much. I played games for awhile. Then I got moving on my puff pastry before going downstairs to cut out another quilt top - that didn't last long. I cut out some of the pieces for a quilt, but then I cut the wrong size, and now I have to fix them by sewing a couple pieces together to make up for what I did wrong. That ticked me off, so I decided to give it up for today.
I sent Patrick these photos to see what he liked better for what I wanted to do. I decided I'm not making anymore blocks, so I have them set like this for a sashing. He told me he couldn't see the sashing - which is actually there. It's a lighter color.
He suggested a tan color, so I put my tan fabric out there, and I wasn't crazy about that one.
This didn't work out at all.
Then I showed him what little I had of the blue, and he liked that better. Actually I do too. Trouble is, I don't have enough of that fabric, so I'm going to need to go buy some navy blue to finish this up. I decided to put the blue blocks in the middle - that would be 2 x 3, but a sashing there, and then put the three on the side with a block in the corner. After that, I'll border it again, maybe with a white strip and then blue again. That way it will be the size it needs to be for QOV. I really didn't want to do any more blocks for this. I think it will work out great. I can hope! So, next time I go out, I'll get 3 yards of fabric for it.
Then I decided it was time to give it all a break and go back upstairs to quilt. I'm quilting on the black and white quilt, and it's really getting closer to being done. I don't have a long way to go. I'm thinking of the lines I'm going to do for the border. I need to get them close enough.
Even though I was lazy, I did get a few things done. I'm looking forward to tomorrow in hopes of getting more money to our donation.
