Design Wall Monday
I started with this last week, tho I'm not entirely sure what it's going to be when it grows up. Clearly a landscape quilt of some sort or another. Hmmmmm. Maybe it needs to be bigger. A star border like the family tree quilt. Maybe I'll get some inspiration in Paducah!

Baby quilts and appendectomies
Sorry to have been away for so long. It's been sorta slow in the quilting department of late. I did get some quilting done today on a baby quilt for my niece, though! I downloaded the pattern from .... well somewhere ... I'll attempt to find it and give proper recognition. It's a great pattern. On point squares of white and color with the nine patches forming a sort of border. Very versatile!
In the process of trimming the excess batting and backing from around the quilt (my favorite part of quilting! - it finally LOOKS like a quilt) I managed to perform a partial appendectomy on myself with the rotary cutter. Somehow I grazed my (slightly protuberant) tummy with the rotary cutter and inflict a small 1" gash through my shirt (also gashed). Not deep, but there was some blood loss involved. I may have cussed. I'll spare everyone the pics of my injury.
Your welcome.
Now I need to find some appropriate binding. Intown Quilters might be getting some biz tomorrow! (if I'm feeling up to it after my surgery today)
