A Sunny Day

It's a beautiful sunny day, what do I do- stay inside and sew! I hardly ever have a day off when I don't have to work at my second job or have chores to do. I'm taking this opportunity to get as much quilted as possible on this UFO from the early 2000s. A few years ago, my sister was visiting and I showed this quilt top to her. We noticed that I made a mistake on the sashing in several places, so Linda used a seam ripper on the sections that were wrong. We looked through my stash and decided on a combination of fabrics that could be used for a border. After Linda left, the pieces of the quilt sat there for a LONG time, then I thought I better sew it back together, correcting the errors. I had to search for the fabrics that were in the quilt and finally found enough to complete the main part of the top. I forgot which fabrics Linda and I chose for the border, I ended up using cream with little brown dots. Note to self- put all the parts and fabrics for a project all in one spot so they are all together when resuming the work! Since I went to all the trouble of getting this quilt top assembled, I thought it would be a good idea to layer, pin baste and start the quilting. I'm stitching in the ditch on all of it then will free motion quilt the edge triangles and border.
