What I’ve Been Working On

I finished the smaller cowboy quilt…..forgot to take pictures, but I was happy to be finished. I will be able to get a picture today if I remember. 

I took some time to review my 2022 goal progress and decided to go ahead and do something with the keyhole quilt. This is where I was:

I couldn’t locate the extra jelly roll pieces for the border….it should look like this:

I found some of the extra pieces, but my quick calculations let me know it wasn’t going to be enough. I decided to just go ahead and be done with it. I already had some extra from the fabric line for an outer border, and I used the lighter turquoise for an inner border.

The light is not good in my house, but it is great in my shop, and I noticed the fabric I had saved for the outer border has a navy background instead of a black background. Not good. This fabric line is from maybe 1-2 years ago, so I don’t think I can get more. I also don’t want to invest more dollars or time into it, so I will finish with the navy fabric and get it quilted. I don’t love the quilt, and I just want to be done. Once it’s finished, that’s another I can check off my UFO list.

Im just happy to be sewing after a three-week break. My daughter came over and used my templates to cut some bowl cozy pieces. I’ll be excited to see what she makes.
