I decided to do my civic duty yesterday and help keep my local quilt shops in business. I went shopping with my SIL at Seams to Be Quilt Shoppe in Plattsmouth, Ne. and was on the search for batiks as I used a lot of mine on the curvy pieced quilt. I managed to find some on sale too, so even better. I found a couple dotty fabrics too...for my collection. We love this shop as they always have new fabrics, sale fabrics and friendly people.
Today I am quilting. I quilted this baby quilt for my SIL...she made the quilt as a gift for a friend. I think the curlie-qs go well with the simple pattern. Hope she likes it too!Now on to work on something I started yesterday. I have taught a quilt with tessellating blocks, but used a background color between the blocks. So have wanted to try interlocking the colors. I will post a pic later...hopefully when it is done.
Mmmmm, those fabrics look good enough to eat!
