It's always amazing to me how quilts shrink as they get quilted. It shows especially well on the back of your QM quilt. And your plaid sashing and border on the t-shirt quilt would not have looked so great if you hadn't fussy cut the plaid. You have such a great eye for detail1 Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-63539526656127628452017-02-01T21:41:19.354-07:002017-02-01T21:41:19.354-07:00Your Madders quilt looks great.

It was definitely worth the extra effort with the sashing fabric. We are always happier when we listen to that little voice.

That reminds me that I was going to buy a new packet of needles! Love your mini, I think SITD is perfect for some small quilts and this is one of them. Hope you get a chance to get the binding on soon for some relaxing hand sewing. Hoping the big quilt is going to the LAQ?

I'm working on UFOs this year too. When I have an opportunity to get another one out (Sleigh Bells is taking most of my time) it will be Barbara Brackman's Civil War BOW from numerous years ago. It wasn't assembled because of an appliqued inner border that has been finished for years. The picture out of your sewing room window is lovely. You have really received "snow on snow on snow" this January. I've been humming that line from "In the Bleak mid-winter" all month.

I should bump my tshirt quilt up the honey-do list. The top is made and I have flannel to piece for the back. I'm not going to use batting given how heavy the top is. <br /><br />Will you be making the box of chocolates "full size" or will you miniaturize it?
