I've done some sewing since last week. On Sunday afternoon, I quilted my Judy Martin swap quilt - all queen size of it. I always have to hem and haw about how to quilt a top. I decided on an overall leaf meander. I used King Tut thread top and bottom - I love the way it turned out. Then I went out of town for most of the week, and didn't do any more sewing until Saturday. I made binding and put it on the Judy Martin swap quilt (UFO #1).
While I was out of town, I stopped at a new-to-me quilt shop and bought a brown with pink flowers, and a brown/pink print to use for borders for my #4 UFO - a Mexican Cross quilt. I pulled that out on Saturday after getting the binding onto UFO #1, and the pinks just didn't work. I was able to find a pink in the stash that would work, and looked fine with the brown-with-pink-flowers, so I've got the borders all as one long set of brown-pink-brown. I still need to press the top and then get the borders cut and attached. I'm going to put 9-patches in the corners. I think it will mirror the middle of the Mexican Cross blocks.
No quilting today - we're going to DMIL's for Easter services and lunch.
