How’d it turn out?

Having told you what I PLANNED to do, I figured I ought to come back and show you the fruits of my labor.

The frogging didn’t take long, and a goodly amount of quilting happened on the quilt that had the pleats in the back:

As far as the 4 patch posy quilts goes: the outer borders are on, and as a bonus, the backing is sewn together:

No idea how I’m going to quilt it.  I’ll let you know later this week….

And those log cabins with the ridiculous sashing:

I misspoke (mistyped?) yesterday.  I said the tiny pieces in the sashing finished at 1 in. by 3/4in.  I was wrong.  It’s crazier than that:  they finish at 1/2 in. by 3/4 in.

And they are done:

I was contemplating that print as a border option, but I think I’m going to go with a dark purple border, as a resting place before the insanity that will be the outer piano key border.

And no, the quilt is not all that flat, thankyouverymuch.  It’s OK, though.  I know the quilter.  She says she can quilt it out.

A Sam’s Club rep was here the other day.  Brought me some samples, one of which was a black garbage bag that smells like MINT!  I’m not a huge fan of perfumes or scents (the lilies at church the other had me sneezing…) but minty bags seems like a pretty good idea to me.

This is an aside.  What does that mean?  Don’t know!  (Yet, anyway…)
