Just having a lazy Sunday sewing in the basement. I should be working on the Argyle flannel quilt on the machine but I am stumped on how to quilt it so I am leaving it so I don't have to remove any more quilting stitches from it. I will try to tackle it fresh on Monday. I have been obsessed with sewing the blue stratas for the Gum Blossom wallhanging that Rita gave me her excess scraps and strips. I have been able to make all the required 6 1/2" squares with everything she gave me. It was great fun picking apart the off cuts to work up the blocks. I have a few that I have to re-do corners because I will have seams meeting to closely and it will be lumpy so I will work on that this afternoon and put the blocks up on the design wall and start sewing the background together. I need to shop for the greens for the large applique leaves. I am still torn as to how I will do the applique. Needle turn or raw edge? I am thinking raw edge because I have so many other needle turn projects on the go that I would like to do something different. We will see.
Back to work, Happy stitching.
