Thankfully there was the energy on Saturday and Sunday to hang out in the sewing room. The first priority is to get the binding made for Twinkle Stars.

It's taking a bit longer than normal because I'm trying to match up the colors in the binding strips with the colors in the narrow scrappy border.
I'm still working on Frolic. There's another two blocks and more sashing up on the design wall, but it's hard to tell there's been much progress.

Just two dark blue blocks left to assemble, then I can move on to to the last five light blue blocks.
The dark purple borders are going on Mosaic Mystery,

Adding borders always takes so much longer than you think it should, but at least there's been some progress.
Not a bad week on the stitching front. Linking up with Monday Making, Monday Design Wall and Main Crush Monday.
You sure have an eye for color! Those three are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteYou work full time and you still got way more done than I did! All of these quilts look fabulous to me. I really like your color choices. The binding is going to be great on Twinkle Stars. Hope you get your energy back 100% soon.
ReplyDeleteTaking your time to line up the colors on the binding for Twinkle Stars is going to be so worth it! I hope you continue to feel better every day.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful quilts. That’s an interesting idea with matching up colors on your binding with the border. I’m curious to see how that will look when it’s all finished.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery. Twinkle Stars is going to be a beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteeverything looks so enticing! I like the way you are doing the binding on Twinkle!! that will look fabulous!! Feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteI like your binding "matching" idea--really pretty. Boy that Frolic has a whole lotta pieces!! It is so lovely--nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first time I've really looked up close at your Mosaic fabrics really closely. Gosh, those are pretty! Purple and gold together are just lovely :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for such good progress, Kate!! Best of luck matching up the border and binding color sections. I find that to be SEW challenging!
ReplyDeleteI think you made great progress Kate! I hope you feel much better and energized soon!
ReplyDeleteWow, Twinkle Stars looks great! I love the matched binding! You are so close on that one--can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better and getting a little time in your sewing room! The scrappy binding for Twinkle Stars is going to be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are feeling better. You got a lot done in those two days. I like the way you are doing the twinkle star borders. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteIt may be taking longer than you like, but getting everything just right will be worth it in the end.
ReplyDelete"borders always take longer than you think they should" -- truer words never spoken!! I always get the top together and think "I'm almost done; I JUST need to add the borders!" Hah! Same thing with the binding, and then several days or a week later... All of these projects are looking lovely. I'm glad you're feeling well enough to sew again!
ReplyDeleteYou may not think it is moving quickly, but I think you’re making great progress!
