Lot done...

...yesterday! Have to take advantage of the high energy times!

Here is Blue Bird ready to hit machine. I just placed the vines and stars on it to see  how will look. Will press them on and do last after I do middle with applique stitch and quilting. I love the look of appliqueing through the layers. Makes it pop!


Once again I cannot get colors true. I its really not a pastel piece! The binding will be same as middle fabric. I made a couple changes. The side borders are not as wide as pattern. I drew my vines on Heat N Bond, cut from fabric instead of bias strips. The green I wanted to use was just a small piece so best way to go!
So this is what I will be working on for a few days!

Off for appointments here in a bit. Looks cloudy out. Hope no rain!

  10. Looking awesome--some how phone pics just do not do it justice, especially my phone. Can't wait to see in for real. The wind is whooshing around here, but I need to ignore it all and tuck in strings. Almost there!
