\"Corner<\/a>
Corner Store – Late June<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After not having much time to sew, as described previously<\/a>, I spent a lot of time sewing over the weekend. In fact, aside from a quick trip to dinner and a movie with my favorite date and a few other minor chores (no gardening!), I spent the whole weekend sewing.<\/p>\n

The Corner Store seems to have taken me a long time. Looking back, I don’t think it should have been on my 26 projects list<\/a>. After all, when I wrote the 26 Projects List it was just a placemat and an idea; it wasn’t really a UFO. Still and all, I put it on the list and I have decided that everything on the list will get a disposition.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, I made significant progress on this quilt. The picture above shows what I had done previously – most of the blocks were sewn together in groups of four. I had started to sew those groups together, but didn’t get very far, so that is what I worked on.<\/p>\n

One after the other, I sewed the groups of four into groups of 8 and then the groups of eight into groups of 16. Basically, I chunked<\/a> them.<\/p>\n

In between, I pushed bits of the Pink Donation Quilt through the machine and made significant progress on that as well as a bit of progress on the yellow version which is the next donation quilt on the list. Another post for another day. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

\"Corner<\/a>
Corner Store Finished Top<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finished the top and am well on my way to finishing the back. I am going to use a big piece of a Phillip Jacobs print called Japanese Chrysanthemum<\/a>. This fabric was destined to be a very nice bag, but I think, even though I bought the pink colorway, that there is too much brown. I am just not a brown person.<\/p>\n

I had planned to put a spiky border a la Gwen Marston. The Molly Flanders blog has a very nice tutorial<\/a>, which shows a similar quilt to this one with the spiky border I decided not to make.<\/p>\n

Ok, here is the confession. This is a pretty quilt top. It is well made, my corners match, etc, but this top has no soul. If I weren’t compulsive about getting project finished, then it would be an interminable UFO. I don’t know why it has not soul, but it doesn’t. I’ll finish the back, get it quilted and then figure out what to do with it. It is a little too girly for one of the boys, but we will see. So it goes, sometimes.<\/p>\n
