Yeah, the swap itself was a long time ago. Can you believe that I just now put the sashing on the blocks and put the blocks together into a top? I had to make two more larger blocks so I could have a nice even
4x5 configuration for a twin top. My DD is already in love with it, and promptly hopped up on her bed when I laid it across to see how I was coming with the size.Now I have to put the siggie block together to go down the sides of the top and then I can add my borders. I need to get this and my penguin paper piecing project finished and in the mail to my mother.
Fortunately for me, I have a great friend that went to G Street with me and helped me keep the every busy DD in line while I bought, and bought and bought some more! I got about 18 yards of fabric from the sale shelf...Just $2.97 per yard! Great stuff too. Then I wandered over to the cotton corner and bought a yard of the perfect purple for binding the penguin wall hanging. All I have to do is figure out how to finish putting the back together for that one, then I can baste and quilt. Oh, I also have to put a hanging sleeve. Hmm, I'll have to go find the directions for that one again.
So, minor happy dances that something is getting done around here! I'm hoping DD will allow me to get some pics of the top in process without her laying all over the thing! I'd like to be able to see the top, even though she's daggone cute on it too!
