A finish… almost :)

Today was one of those days… couldn’t get motivated… at all!

I did a bit of quilting, a bit of stitching, prowled around a few blogs and even had time to leave some messages… cuddled the cat for a bit… he’s always up for that

I discovered this little button popping up all over the place, made me smile

I watched a bit of tennis… shhhhh… don’t tell the FLM…

Then I decided to start a new quilt

I decided to use my Etchings jelly roll and yardage

I also decided to make the Starlight Express quilt from Pam & Nicky Lintott’s book ~ Jelly Roll Quilts

I then decided that I really should finish something else… nowhere near as exciting as pulling that moda tape bow undone on the jelly roll… Undoing that bow is one of the scariest things on earth. Once it's pulled, it's never the same again. I guess that's the idea :)

So, instead of starting my beautiful new ‘Etchings ~ Starlight Express’, I finished the borders on this quilt. I’ll etch my starlight express another day…

I started this quilt on March 4th, 1923… and I should be ready to quilt it by 2018, then finish the binding on September 26th, 2062

Wonder what gadgets we’ll have to quilt with in 50 years time…

Not sure about the quilting… maybe just an allover pattern… something that just disappears… or maybe feathers… or should I get really motivated and do some heavy custom quilting?

It’s a great pattern, no waste. Which means none for the stash. I even had to scrounge some bits off Debbie to finish the borders ~ thanks Deb

Seeya Monday night for the giveaway draw and I'll have some other news too... just you wait

50 years from now? We will ALL be in quilting hell where nothing ever gets finished....we will be surrounded by mounds of new fabric that we CAN'T touch until we finish our UFOs. ;p

At least we'll have good company! I'll bring the M&Ms because 'they melt in your mouth..not in your hands!' ;p

LOL Cheryl, you crack me up. 1923 indeed!!! It must feel like that though hehehehe.

I only craeted a blog recently and managed to work out how to put your button on. It is the first and only one to date.

Absolutely stunning quilt Cheryl. Now, if you really don't have time to quilt it.... send it to me..... I'll do the quilting for you. It's free, if you let me quilt it for you.... honest! Won't charge a penny for it....... not sure whether you'll ever get it back, but it's worth a try.
Hugs, as always, Sue x x
