I have been working on either finishing projects or getting them "to the next step" in the creative process prior to going on vacation. I now have two finished quilt tops, two backs nearly assembled, and one dog mat completed. I am about a quarter yard and binding shy of prepping the tree of life quilt so I am off to my LQS for an awesome sale. I will get 40% off my regular priced fabric purchase if I buy 4 or more yards! I hope to have the backing finished by Friday. I will have two quilts ready for quilting and can't wait to get them under the machine. Until then I get to think about how I will finish them. Of course that means I also get to decide what to start next!
Here is the second dog mat. It is patriotic and has a small dog applique in the corner. I love how it came out and it was all from stash. What I didn't like is that it doesn't lay flat. I think I distorted the wool batting that I put into it. I had sewn two pieces together to have enough and I don't think that was a good idea. The kind of wool batting my LQS sells doesn't always play nicely. Oh well. Still awesome!
I just used a tight meander. The back is a twill fabric since I know it will be on the ground and have heavy use.
This may be it from me for a little while...see you in July!
