So glad I took pix yesterday of our Fall turning leaves; this morning I awoke and they were almost all blown away; cold front winds still howling......
And So (sew!):
I went into my room this morning and finally sewed last border on Georgie
the one at the top--less dense, but still flowery...and then
I realized that I had cut GAZILLIONS of pieces ready to become 9-patches....my nemisis it seems--none of them come out evenly!
And so, thinking of the back of the quilt for Monsieur Georges, I made these blocks....
Those wonky 9-ers in a cross hatched pattern--and so I now LOVE them!
should I use them on the "back"? Or make another top with them....here is the pile I have left to go--
22 more plus 6 on my cutting table and many 1.25" red and off red strips I found in my drawer--in the back!! (Oh that stash does come in handy).
And so another decision makes its way into my brain....I also have some big 9.5" flowery blocks left over that could become a plainer backing for Georgie...I hear him tapping his foot ("ZUT--ALORS!!" ---I think he must have known French--don't you think?? " Une autre decision pour faire!!")--his face is turning red--I SILENTLY AND SLOWLY crept out of the room and closed the door on his shenanigans....what to do, what to do?
What would you do???? ;--000
MEANWHILE: as this is Slow Stitching Sunday, I am working on these: my Monet's City hexagons--yes, my thumb allows me about maybe (with wrist/thumb support on) to sew a row! I am doing my "Happy Dance"...
I am blowin' in the wind today...the Season is really changing and I want to finish up Georgie before the New Year--at least get him layered for quilting....
Have a warm and toasty Sunday--
P.S.Tom feels so much better today-- he made his Spaghetti Sauce with meatballs for supper--YAY--no cooking for Julie today!! What a guy....
Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse
