Doomed to Bloom

That's me..... doomed to not following the rules.  But there is NOT even a tiny bit of dissatisfaction within my heart and soul.

 When I do as I please...... so be it.I'm ready for BLOOM..... the opposite of the WORD OF THE DAY!!!

I've THUS missed the first 3-days of April 2018 A-to-Z.

Monday's Plan forA Quilt

Now-a-days......   making a quilt starts with an idea.... a vision.....someone's wishful statement....  "I wonder if ....."

So, a dear friend presented the idea as a finished display of a full size artistic quilt which would be placed under glass and permanently displayed in our church foyer!    And the date ?   January 2019!

I Choose Sunday "Serenity"

But I must do a confession --- as it is a Spring Forward (time clocks) Sunday for 2018....  
                                      

I really plan to give this Serenity Prayer Wall Hanging to a dear sister friend.   I'm going to order two more panels.... to give to my daughter... and then to post for sale via Bquiltin Studio!

SaveTime Quilt Tip: Hanging Sleeve Should Be Made Early On....

Thus.... I'm gonna cut basic white fabric (from Goodwill decent cotton sheets)   I cut them 9 1/2 inches..... in order to make the 4" sleeves that will be needed for the upcoming SJMBC Centennial Quilt Show (December 1919 - December 2020)   A year of celebration!!


Hanging Sleeves and Quilt Labels !!!..... the basics.   Now I know it.... Like I learned my lesson about the binding.   Do it  plzzzzzzz  -- Save time and put away procrastination.....   Do the Hanging Sleeves, labels and binding....  the last three steps....   Have it done before I quilt the quilt on my longarm  machine !!!

Chevron Comfy Throw

Red white and blue fabric makes this blue and white/Chevron panel a real jewel!!  
It measures.  54 1/2" x  74",  The outer red border 3 1/2" .... and the first and second inner borders measure 1 1/2".   I used my Pounce template for a specialty spiral on the outer border.... and then changed to a large circular quilting design for the inner portion of the quilt!

Almost completed --  binding matches the second inner border!  ... now for a label and a  possibly a hanging sleeve (should I want to hang this in a display)!!
