Y’all, I found a paper piece that didn’t get taken out!! Thank goodness I was only about 8” from the border so it wasn’t awful to unpick a few things and pop it out.

Gotta be honest I don’t feel all that confident about the quilting pattern I’m doing, but I’m just going to keep going.

@gamechangershow reference in the sewing studio??
Edit: Just in case this was unclear, this is not my quilt! This is hung at the store/studio where my stepmom works and nobody knows who made it

So.. about those colours i couldnt decide if fit into the Main Project(tm) - i decided to make a mini-quilt for the cat to lay on in the window sil.
Tumblr media
Its probably been god to have a small trial project, and Ive experimented with thread colour and stitch length and minutia in general..
The cat seems meh a out it when i lay it out in the sil - sooo... We'll see how he likes the finished quilt later on!

Progress so far!

After a long hiatus from this quilt, I finally finished constructing the last two of the twelve blocks. I’m not even going to try to trim and neaten all these and cut sashing strips until tomorrow. But I feel kind of good. The blocks are scrappy and wonky, but this will eventually be a nice football game or college dorm blanket.

Here is the first ring that I have repaired. The six green striped ones are replacements for the deteriorating green rayon. I know I should start from the center of the quilt and work outwards, but these were in bad shape. There are still 2 more on the edge, but those will have to wait until the end since I have to remove the bias binding and then replace it when I am finished.

The quilt for my neighbor is done! It is a little rough, but I was in a rush to wrap it up since I have other projects to get to.
Time to wrap it and hand it off to them! I even got it done months before the baby arrived.

“‘This work can never satisfy, Din, for it can never finish. The dead cannot be restored. Vice and bribery will never be totally banished from the cantons. And the drop of corruption that lies within every society shall always persist. The duty of the ludex is not to boldly vanquish it but to manage it. We keep the stain from spreading, yes, but it is never gone.’” A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett
As the trees bloom, it’s a great time to read a plant based mystery! 📖💚 With a matching spring quilt of course, this LM Montgomery quilt looks magical with it.
What is your favorite book about plants?
Today’s @owlcrate @OCthenest @words.and.whimsy Midnight Manuscripts photo challenge is Lose Lips Sink Ships: A Story with a Deadly Secret. A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett pairs bountiful worldbuilding, with a murder mystery shrouded in political intrigue. A cross-genre story that will keep you guessing until the end. My full review is on Goodreads! 💚
We also have bountiful spring quilts in our Etsy shop at VictoriaGDesigns or www.victoriagleasuredesigns.com 💚
