I had thought about using the 'saw tooth' like this:
down either side and after I finished the top, I really wish I had! Once I get it quilted, I'll be posting more pictures. These are 16" blocks and actually I don't think these pictures do it justice - course, you're not seeing the whole quilt top :-) But my camera battery went out just as I snapped the pictures.....
I'm also working on an Angel quilt.
Sorry about the upper right hand glare - there's a light fixture there next to my design board.
This quit is being made from embroidered angel designs from the ladies of my group for a member who is undergoing chemo. We felt it would be nice to let her know we're keeping her in our thoughts and prayers. Of course this is a prioity. I hope to have the last few angels I'm waiting on by Tues. I want to get it completed and in the mail by the weekend.
I'm using a multi colored fabric for the borders and was trying to use the aqua and pinkish fabric to bring it all together - which it will once the borders are added. Right now the horizontal sashing looks like it's a solid strip, but it's not. I used the border fabric for the 'corner stones'.
So in this close up you can see how the corner stones do break up the sashing.
So.... that's what I've been working on other than knitting. I've got three knitting projects going right now. A sweater for myself that I want to have done before we go to Disney, a pair of socks and I am trying to always have something on the needles for the NICU I'm donating to. Keeps my hands busy in the evenings. Even with all the lighting I have in my sewing room, I just don't like to sew after dark......
Sure hope everyone is being more productive than I've been. I'm hoping my sewing/quilting slump is finally over!
