Got a little bit of sewing done

A few weeks ago when Nancy and I went to the Auburn Quilt Show, my mantra (or annoying comment for the day) was "I have that pattern". Well, I may have that pattern but Nancy is the one who makes things from my patterns...


This is just laid out on my floor - no borders yet - it is so cute just like this. Nancy sewed the rows together after I took a picture. I can't wait to use my own pattern - FYI the pattern name is French Garden by Swirly Girls Design. Nancy said it is really easy.

I got the back for my half square triangle quilt done (I really need to think of a name for the quilt). Here are my pieces and parts put together.


If a length matched I sewed it together, no rhyme or reason, I just needed it to be about 52" square. I still have pieces and parts left over. I wasn't going to do anything else with them just yet, but couldn't stand it, so I've started sewing them together...I think I still have enough to back a very small quilt (baby quilt?) from them. Gotta use up every little bit (new mantra?).

The quilt looks wonderful. Why is the quilt inspector looking away though? Impatient for the borders to be added?
That's a cool quilt backing!

Your pieced backing is wonderful. Somehow I can't get myself to take the time to do that. But I sure admire those that do.
