Under the Weather

I believe I have caught a cold. I woke up yesterday with a very sore throat and as the day progressed, I started getting congested. In all seriousness, it could be allergies, but either way, I have no energy right now. I made myself get up and get some things done, but I came home around 4:00 and took some mucinex and went to bed. I got up long enough to eat and feed the dogs and went back to bed.

I did manage to put binding on two quilts. They are both Texas A&M fabrics with Shannon cuddle on the backs. 




This one is a printed panel, even though it looks pieced. She did add the two borders. 


I cut the binding for these on the bias. That is my preferred way to make binding, but lately I have gotten into the habit of cutting it on the straight grain. It is easier to do that way and easier to calculate how much is needed, but the binding never looks as well as it does when it is on the bias. I need to get back to doing it this way!

  1. So sorry about your bad cold. Those A&M quilts are really cute. I had not heard of Shannon Cuddle, can't believe they have an A&M themed one!
    That reminds me, when my grandson's then fiancée-now wife saw the A&M quilt I made for him, he said she wanted an OU one. I bought all the fabrics needed, and it is still sitting there. Hopefully I'll get it done before they have kids - lol!
