Monday Morning Design Wall 8/20/2012

  Happy Monday!!  I have all my Mimi's Bloomers blocks up on my wall.  The latest one was posted on Friday and I have yet to get to it!  It will be this week so that will be fun.  I also finished my Miss Kyra top, also by Erin Russek.  I do love her designs but I did switch up the border a bit adding a few more Dresden Plates. I worked on the borders, and only the borders, for 8 straight hours on Sunday.  It was a DO OR DIE TRYING day, either I finished the borders or I scrapped them and started over!!  I am not unhappy with it but I think I need to look at it hanging on the wall to get use to the corners!  I am planning on hand quilting the half Dresden Plate bocks into the empty border spots to keep the theme....I like the idea of that!!   On to more projects that I can finish up, I am hoping to get so much more done over the next month and clean up some of these UFO's!!! Remember to check out Judy's blog for the rest of the design walls!!

  1. What a great border idea. And, I can see why it took so long. Are you going to add flowers? And I really like your Mimi's Flowers. I still have not even looked at the patterns for that but maybe when the chickens are all caught up I will as they will be so different.
