Design Wall Monday - April 22nd

Weekends just aren't long enough, even when they are three day weekends.  Lots of stitching on Friday.  The OSU quilt back was pieced and the quilt was prepped for shipping off to be quilted.  Most of Saturday was spent at a Drama Teen's speech competition. She did really well, earning first place in the serious poetry classification.  She was thrilled, she was hoping for at least a third place finish as this year there were a number of really good competitors in her session.  

 Sunday morning was spent on around the house chores and laundry.  But I was back to stitching Sunday afternoon.  The Sweet Treat quilt blocks are all sewn together and the first round of borders has been attached.  I ran out of steam after attaching the first border strip for round two.

 Judy's pattern called for a pieced second border, but since there is a deadline for completing this project, I decided to skip the pieced border and just do a simple strip border.  I really hope to have this top finished by next weekend.  

 That's it for my design wall this week.  Check out the links over at Patchwork Times for more works in progress.

    Fun! Will this be a QOV? If not, it would be a great design for one? Thanks for the inspiration!

    Good luck with your plan for the finish. This quilt is going to be so sweet when it's done. I love the vintage /antiquey vibe you have going with this one.
