My Smith Mountain Morning quilt top is finally done. My motivation got lost somewhere in the middle of all those border pieces. Actually I think it was the strip that fits between the top and the border. After sewing on the 2" inner border that was called for I just could not get my pieced sections to fit. So after cutting off 1/2" all the way around it finally worked out. Borders are not really my thing. So after a week or so of putting it off I finally put it (border) on. Now on to the quilting.
This is what I started on this morning. Guess I just can't get enough of Christmas. So I've started this project which in my mind is just a table runner but in the book it's a quilt so it is yet to be seen what size the actual project will be. These cardinals are from a pattern in the Thimbleberries book Block by Block to Beautiful Quilts.
Five minutes til it's time to leave for work. So on to Monday and the beginning of a great week.
