But Wait! There's More. . .

those are spots of sunlight on the quilt, from the blinds...

I put the new quilt on the twin guest bed to see if it needed more before I put on the binding. The cool thing about this process is that one can add to an existing quilt with Marianne's  flip and sew-adding batting technique.
















Judging from the view here, I think I need to add about 8 more inches, and then call it quits. Easy peasy.
I was only kidding that this will be the dawg's quilt. I am going to keep it nice, free from drooling, digging and all that hair. The more I look at it, the more I likey.






But what's on my mind now? A stripey quilt!


Here's my accumulated-recently-added-to stash of stripes. I thought I had a lot more. Hmm. Yesterday at Hobby Lobby I bought up 6 more long quarters and tried to see if I had coordinating colors to make something with them. Of course I do. Yay!
I also have a lot of matured Kaffe Fassett stripes and a couple of his woven plaids. However, they are pretty muted for my usual screaming mimi color schemes, despite how nice they look here. I am considering selling them off on the blog. ( Email me if they interest you and I will count them up and figure out a good price ). Sold. My goal is to sew everything up I own, before I go blind, arthritic and demented. So I must hurry!
Speaking of color schemes, I have noticed that I have a few favorite ones that I keep repeating:
yellow-green-blue
pink and green
grape, orange and lime
Geesh.
So I am branching out here. ha! There is something nearly dark brown in this collection. Yipes! And the addition of the turquoises in this pink and green group is a teeny step forward methinks.

Here's a good shot of the Fassett stripes.

And more to come...woowoo!
I do have a much smaller stash than most quilters, so now that I know how to use it up faster and better, I have hopes of a huge pile of finished work to leave to my heirs. Maybe I'll leave the binding to them too! Mwahahaha!

OK I get the message!
