It's April 24th and it feels like April has been soooo loooong!
So my goal for April was to get all the embroidered blocks and the sashings together into a top. No borders because I need to purchase fabric. My local quilt shop is closed. JoAnn's is closed. Online stores are not shipping currently. Buying border fabric online is iffy for me. I need to see it up close and personal. Touch it and look at it with the top.
Now I am not sure if it really needs 4 3/4" borders. The pattern said the finished quilt was 68X54.
I was thinking large wall hanging! It is really too big for most wall space that I have. I don't really want it to be a lap quilt with all the embroidery and applique. So I may opt for a smaller border. I will have to wait and see. I still have some Christmas fabric left, but I don't think there is enough of any of them for a border.
Here it is. Done to this point. I will still stay stitch the edges to keep them from coming apart as it waits for border fabric.
And a bit closer
I'll link up to Patty's Finish post for OMG after the party goes live near the 25th.
And since it is Friday now that I am publishing this, I'll link to Finished or Not Friday also.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy
That is adorable! Love the embroidered touches. I use mostly solids so buying online is not stressful. I understand how difficult it would be when you like to see fabric up close!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks so great! Hope you can get borders soon. I didn't know the fabric shops weren't even shipping! Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteLovely Christmas quilt, cute pattern!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet quilt. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling blue too but your quilt top definitely cheered me up :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Jo-Ann near me is closed as well. Insert angry emoji here.
I really like the pieced border with red and green squares. If you are not in a rush to quilt it , you can always add borders later. In any case it is looking lovely!!!
