WOW! Where does the time go? I can't believe that it has been more than a week since I last blogged. I have been so busy that I didn't even realize how far behind I am.
I have been busy sewing and quilting. I have Matt's quilt top all sewn together-except for the last two borders. I am dragging my feet about them because I can't decide how to do the corners of the biggest border. It is a directional fabric with a rather large repeat that would look terrible if the side borders do not meet up with the top and bottom borders just right. So, now I am debating. Do I want to put a different fabric in the corners? Or do I want to make it checkerboard or 4-patch in the corner? If so, what fabrics from the quilt do I want to use? Since I am not sure how I am going to do the corners of the third border, I do not want to attach the second border yet because I may want to do something in the corners of it too......Decisions, decisions.

Matthew was at our house on Sunday and I showed him the quilt top. He was so happy to see that it is almost finished!
I am also almost finished with a small charity quilt that I am making. Downy fabric softener has a program called Quilts for Kids. You can click on this link to find out more information about receiving a free kit that you make into a quilt for a hospitalized child. I will post pics of mine as soon as it is finished.
I am working on my next blocks for my Summer's Last Bloom block swap. We will be mailing dark tan on cream this month.
Back to the sewing machine. Happy stitching.
