I Spy A Crumb Patch Top Complete

I have been on a roll!  Yesterday, I finished the swirly feather border on the Tree of Life Quilt.  I ran out of thread twice.  After going through a 600m spool of Superior Threads, I went to my LQS to get more.  They were out of the color I needed (figures).  The owner looked through her personal stash of thread and had a portion of a spool of the right color and gave that to me.  I was thinking I was good to go, but I ran out again!  The border is really thready.  I decided not to try and get another replacement so I found a color close enough in my own stash and finished it.  Afterwards, I put on the binding.  I have one inner border to finish and as soon as that is complete (inspiration has not hit yet) I will post tons of pics!!!

As if binding and quilting weren't enough, I also ironed and folded my prairie points.  The motivation was still there, and at 9pm last night I began to assemble the I Spy a Crumb Patch borders.  It turned out great!



Now on to assembling a quilt back.  I found some alphabet fabric in my I-Spy stash so I am going to try and mix that with some colorful solids and see how it goes from there!
