Tuesday

This little quilt top is finished!
3 1/2" squares...all lined up...
ready to be a sandwich!!!
+quilt top
+batting
+backing

I want to scallop the edges and
hand quilt this one.
Wondering what color thread I'll use.
Lime green?
White?
Hmmm......
I'm going to look at what I have in my stash!
I kind of like that perle cotton using a bigger stitch.
This is my next
TAKE ALONG project!
You know...
take along to the doctor...
take along to the meeting....
take along to the park.....
Hopefully no more
TAKE along to the EMERGENcy Room!!!!!

This quilt's special.
It's not every day I get to make a quilt
for the FIRST grandchild!!!

    So pretty! It's going to be so special with hand quilting. No more emergency rooms though! Do I need to send hair color?! Those kids!

    I love it. Great job on the curves. I think big stitch hand quilting will be wonderful. Selina

    So cute! Oh, I would go with the lime green in the purple and black and a white or black in the green. Oh a scalloped border with a crochette picotte edge - I know, shut up Sharon.

    I'm always in favor of lime. I think the new parents and grandbaby will love it.

    Congratulations, Beth! This is so sweet, with the black/white dots popping! Does the color selection suggest a little girl?
