My WIP Wednesday #11

Dev's What a Hoot is almost there! 


After a mutual audition session wherein she chose the border and ribbon colors she wants, 

I got the inner grid and the first borders put together:

(This is hanging folded over in half.)

It was so funny - I worked a bit crazily to get the inner grid together before she got home that night from a date, thinking she'd be all excited. After a little looking, she says with a hurt-feelinged voice, "but how come mine don't get eyeballs??"  ROFL. I got a sheepish grin and "oh, yeah!" when I reminded her that the buttons get sewn on as the very last thing after quilting and even binding are finished. And furthermore, that she had helped me choose the buttons she wants for the eyes at the last button sale!  lolol


Now to make the triple ribboning with the Celtic corners. A bit of a headache, really. Why, oh whyyyy did I not take notes last year when I figured Heather's out??  Definitely doing that this time around, with pics for a tutorial, so I can do Marissa's much more easily in a few years when it's her turn.  :D
