Oopsie

So, as I was sewing together my final row of the Evelyn Sloppy string quilt, it dawned on me (way to go for it being so last minute) that I had done my mental math incorrectly.  I had made an extra row!  So, now I have to decide whether to turn this row into another project (perhaps a wheelchair donation quilt?) or make MORE blocks...8 more to be exact...and have enough rows to make the quilt both wider and symmetric.  I need to think about this some more I think.  I have been needing a push to get another donation quilt out....hmmm.  If I made the donation quilt I would need just four more blocks rather than 8.  I suppose I will decide in the next day or two.

Here are the rows laid out on the floor.  I may do my borders a bit differently.  It will definitely have a string border.  I was thinking of a darker resting strip then a string border.  Once I have the quilt top center assembled I will have a better idea.


On a final note, many of you know my Sheltie, Angus, took his Canine Good Citizen test and passed.  I tried to take some pictures after, but taking pics of 5 herding dogs playing is not easy!

  3. Your quilt looks great! I'm not sure if you have the "incorrect" row on in the photo...but, It looks great the way it is... =)

    In the dog photo...on the right...is that an English Cocker Spaniel? I'm just curious. I had one of these really sweet dogs and they are wonderful too.
