In Full Bloom
|
I have finished a quilt, In Full Bloom. I love this pattern. It is one that you can change up many ways with different focus fabric, panels, and embroidery squares. I used a faux piping on the binding and on the last border. I am not sure that I would do the last border the way I did it. Without getting into too many details, there is four pieces of fabric plus the batting. I thought this would be great, that the quilting on that border would really standout. It does give it a good effect but it also makes it wobble just a little bit. Then you add the binding to all of that and that seam is thick. I will say the binding is full, no doubt. I think to get rid of the wobble you could quilt it out to the edge. It might work. This is going to be one of my utility quilts so it isn't that important that it is perfect. So, for this one, I will live with a little wobble.
We survived Isaac. We were lucky we were on the west side of the state. The primary storm was on the east side. We had about 2 1/2 days of wind and a good day of light rain. It could have been so much worse. Hurricanes, as in this one, you never know what you are going to get. This was a catagory one hurricane. Normally you would not evacuate and it would come ashore with some wind, some rain, and it would scoot across the state. This time, it had a love for the state, it did not want to leave. It hung around, blowing and raining and raining and raining some more. The people on the east side of the state and into Mississippi have a horrible and costly clean up to do.
