I decided I did want a bit of applique in the outer borders of the Madeira Jelly Roll quilt (gotta think of a better name LOL). But I didn't want anything too elaborate because the quilt itself seems busy. So I am going with a simple folk art chunky design. The first border is on so this week maybe I can get the other three sides appliqued and attached.Today's KC Star magazine contained the second installment or block for the Circuit Rider quilt. Here's mine prepped for machine blanket stitch. Don't know why that green looks so washed out--it's really not! And yet another project to start...The Civil War Diary Quilt!
I've had this book since it first came out but have not made anything from it yet. I have been motivated to get started! A new blogging ring will be starting soon and will work together on the blocks--always a good motivator. I am thinking of hand-piecing mine. I'd like to get several blocks readied for my upcoming lo-o-ong car trip.
Winter just can't seem to let go this year. More snow is falling in KC today. Pretty but a pain in the patoot!
