Musings from a scrap quilter and grandma about quilting and grandchildren, and whatever seems pertinent at the time.

Fall scrap quilt
I'm baaaack! Made it through the procedure today and am on with my life.
After a much needed nap this morning/afternoon, I sat down to sew (I couldn't do it earlier, nurse said I had to stay away from machinery - normally that wouldn't stop me from sewing, but I was pretty tired since I've been up since 3:30 this morning.)
So now I'm about to find out how to post a picture. I laid out a few of the fall scrappy nines with the plain back alternate squares. I think I'm going to love it. In fact, I think I'm going to make it much bigger than I originally planned. The border fabric doesn't look quite right, but I think a thin black inner border will help it along. The border fabric has frosted leaves on a black background, although in the picture it may not show that well. The colors are not that great in my house -- this was taken on the basement floor -- the carpet is a light off-white with tan -- looks real yellow in the picture. But good enough for this purpose.
I usually lay a piece of batting over a large hanging quilt in my sewing room and use it as my design wall -- just haven't gotten a round tuit yet!
So what'dya think?

Oh what a wonderful fall quilt this will be! I agree, I think you will need a thin black inner border and then your outer border will look wonderful!
I made a stack n whack once with that outer border fabric - only it was blue and green! Hmmm, that is a UFO sitting somewhere in my basement - wonder where? Now I may have to dig that up to share a picture with you!
