Two for One

Do you remember the phrase “quilt in a day”? It was a slogan Eleanor Burns used, the premise being, if you used her patterns and gadgets, you could complete a quilt (top) in a day. Well, I’ve got that beat—I finished two tops in one day! 

The pattern is called Moondance, and it’s from Villa Rosa Designs. 

It makes a quilt that is 40” x 50”, so not huge, but one of our guild charities is Gabriel Project. Wouldn’t this be a cute baby quilt? I am absolutely in love with the fabric. 

It has little vignettes of dogs at the dog park. It is so adorable! I am going to try and get some more of the fabric so I can make another one or two quilts. If I can, I will likely keep one for myself. 

Here’s some good news: Vacation Bible School is over, and I can rest now. We fed approximately 125 people each evening. Yes, I was in the kitchen. I am pretty much exhausted, although I did have my grandson today. He’s pretty self sufficient as long as he has his iPad, so it wasn’t too strenuous. I took this cute pic when I dropped him off at his house:

His boots beside his mom’s boots in the garage. So cute! 

The other good news is that I finally figured out how to end the border on this one. 

The corners have a little gap between them and the rest of the border, but at this point, I don’t care. The square in a square continues the diamond theme, but there was no way to have the black parts touching and still have it be the right size. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I am satisfied with what I’d did. I have two more borders to add- one just a 1-1/2” strip, and the other pieced. Then I can quilt it and be done!
