What to do?


 The new Project Quilting challenge is Ombre. Okay...my two rules, must be easy to make and must use stash. I have two ombre fabrics in my stash... a yard of a pink (not enough) and 1.5 yards of blue (might be able to work with this.


I've had this Villa Rosa pattern for a while and have been wanting to make it for ages. It calls for two yards, I only have 1.5 yards. So, I took a bit of creative license. I'm only making the center and turning it 45 degrees.

This pattern is really easy and fast to make. The top was cut and made in a little over 24 hours - maybe 6 hours total cutting and sewing time.


I'm going to donate the quilt...so, should I add borders and make it wider - 52 x 59?


Or leave it as is - 45 x 59?

I like them both.

FYI, when you fudge up and quilt the binding selvage to the back of your quilt.


Turn it into a label. Hehehehehe

GREAT IDEA...the label! Need to put that in my memory set in stone. I seldomg quilt a quilt without quilting something to the back. I am tempted to do it on purpose as my signature. Either way on the border looks good to me.
