Spin Quilt and Probably Done for a Bit
The blue worked out well for the sashing! I barely had enough to put a border around the outside and had to piece all four sides. Luckily this is a fabric that literally doesn't show a seam if you are more than a few inches away!
As I wanted it to be at least 40 inches wide (it is 38 right now), I figured I needed at least one more border. I tried several pieces of fabric that didn't work.
I finally decided to go with a very thin strip of the yellow from the centers and then found this piece in my stash which seemed to be perfect!!
And it's done!! I have to start getting stuff together to transport south so probably won't get too much more done. First, I have to get backings for all the quilts and match them up. I made progress on this earlier today so hopefully that will be done today. I have been gradually getting the strips downstairs -- they are really heavy as I compacted them in 2 1/2 gallon zip loc bags which probably weigh between 5 and 10 pounds each!! I did this with all the 2 1/2 and 2 inch strips. The smaller strips are just stuffed in baggies. Hopefully I will have enough room for everything.
