Week 4 out of 8 of Kelly’s Charming Chatter Quilt Along is over today. Our goal this past week was to assemble our quilt tops.
No sooner did I finish sewing on the last border yesterday afternoon when we suddenly lost power. The wind picked up something fierce and the sky was an ominous dark color. The first thing that came to my mind was…tornado. Thank goodness that didn’t happen and the power returned about 20 minutes later so I was able to complete the ironing.
Here is my completed flimsy of Darlene’s Between Friends pattern using Moda’s Dandelion Girl range of fabrics by Fig Tree Quilts.
Tomorrow begins week 5 when we’ll receive information about what we are to do this week…quilting this little charmer. I would think that hand quilting would be out of the question for me because of all the little joined pieces meaning too many layers to pierce. So, before I get myself too worked up, I’ll wait to see what Kelly has to say.
And just a little reminder to come back on Friday…the First Friday of July for my newest FFF (First Friday Freebie) design. Until then…
Happy stitching!
Kaaren ♥
The quilt top has a soothing gentle look. I have seen it in brights but I do like your version very much.
