My main goal this evening was to find the right binding for Thoughts on Dots<\/span>. I have entered it into the county fair, which means I have to do the finishing work (binding and sleeve) fairly sharpish – 21 days from today is the last day to hand in the exhibits.

I thought I would use this Jane Sassaman fabric, but when I put it on the quilt (albeit messily here),I found that it isnt’ the right fabric. I like the stripes, but the colors aren’t right. GREAT! (<- note sarcasm) What a pain! Now what? I have blue on the mind, so my next choice after pawing through a boatload of fabric is a dot. \"\"<\/a>I applied this fabric much more neatly, so I hope it doesn’t give it an unfair advantage. I think it is better, though. If I use this, I will not have much left, which makes me sad, because it is a really good dot fabric. Perhaps fuschia or red? Opinions are welcome.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here is another bad picture of Thoughts on Dots<\/span> quilted and trimmed. I am totally in love with this quilt. While it was gone, I forgot how much I like it.
\"\"<\/a>Detail photo of the quilting. It is an allover pattern that reminds me of clouds. I think the quilting looks cheerful and doesn’t take away from the fabric placement.<\/p>\n

Pineapple blocks 18 and 19 completed. You can see some of the new Kaffe Fassett dots in the corners.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Pineapple block #20 is on the top. Still not complete, but getting there.<\/p>\n

The bottom two blocks are the first border blocks. They are 2 of the 4 corner blocks. I realized, in making these, that I have to use bold fabric for the lines of color since the ratio of color to white is so low. In person, they look quite cheerful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
