I finished the dwr sample and its washed and kandi thought it was a little windy so she held it down for me the larger one is for my niece and when I get back to work soon I hope I will take it to be quilted by my longarm quilter I hated to call and tell her to skip over me I have waited 12 weeks to get it in but I just do not have the money she told me she had 100 quilts and was behind so it worked for both I think I will take it up this week tho
I like to make a few extra blocks 1.because I usually screw at least one up
2 because I like to quilt it myself and decide how I want it to look
I am going to call this afternoon at the beach it is a smaller version of my afternoon at the park I had the longarm quilter do last year and is a tube strip quilter I got off the Missouri quilt co and I still don't have the binding on I had several strips leftover that didn't match so I put it together and quilted it myself oh my all those little pebbles but I loved how It turned out
I am still trying different ways of sewing the binding still think hand is the best looking but I machine sewed it on so I could get it finished
back
and three borders
I love the outer border design I call it eyeballs and I stole the idea from judi at the green fairy hope she doesn't mind I could never do it justice she does such beautiful work
on to my project at hand this is a finished coastal lily block
as I said before I can not cut and sew straight I think if my life depended on it so naturally I had problems the berries are not in the crack like they should be and the blocks are not 10 1/2 like they should be so I thought I would shave them down so I can square them and then I think the geese will be off and still have to do them
I have these and im going to make a few more and remedy the problem
if you want to see the blocks in perfection go look at thelmas over at cupcakies and daisies they are beautiful
