Roosting Robin - Triangle border


The triangle border is now on my RRR. I'm not sure I like the little applique heart Flowers in the corners. I ran out of green and had to think of something for the corners. I've just got a few narrow short strips left to use for the leaves on the next border, which is applique. Think I'll do a vine with heart shaped flowers.
I got the community service quilts for EVQG back Thursday. I still haven't put the binding on them. Maybe I can find time today to start them.

Community Service Projects




I've been working on a couple of community service quilts for EVQG this morning. I used some duck panels that were donated to our guild. As I haven't had much time for quilting this past month, I decided the easier the better, so I used Anita Grossman Solomon's pattern "Super-Sized Nine Patch". It is a free pattern on the Quiltmaker Magazine web site. I still need to get the backings ready and fix my binding strips. With any luck, I will make contact with the machine quilter tomorrow and give them to her to quilt. They need to be turned in at the May guild meeting. Think I'll use that same pattern to make baby quilts for next years community service project. If I follow her directions, I can get 3 crib quilts from 3 - 1yd pieces of co-ordinating fabrics.
