Welcome to the Link-up for BOMs Away Mondays!
so they don't stall out in UFO-land!
(Linky at the bottom)
Well, I started out sewing more birds together, since it's a week for the Love Birds project in BOM time, but my brain just couldn't dis-engage from my priority quilt of the week.
I only needed to do the last 1/3 of the outer-edge fill work to finish up the quilting on my monster super-king-sized Dinner Plate Dahlia!
So I did that, instead, and now this baby is ALL QUILTED! (hand-guided)
And off the frame! (For GOOD!)
And now she's trimmed and ready for binding work.
But when I opened my binding drawer and found no Dinner Plate Dahlia binding waiting for its task, I remembered I had run out of the fabric I knew I'd want to use for that - but never remembered to shop for more.
After auditioning other left-overs from this project, and coordinators from my stash, I knew that I wasn't going to be happy in the end with anything but what I'd originally wanted, unless that fabric is now unobtainable.
It isn't. :) I found a yard of it on Etsy just now, so I'll cool my jets here, and work on other projects while I wait for delivery. It'll be soooo satisfying to bind this baby and wash it and put it on our bed!!

Did you work on a BOM type project this week? We'd love to see your progress!

Dinner Plate Dahlia is so beautiful! I can't wait to see a full view of her. Hope it doesn't take long for the binding fabric to arrive, happy stitching!

ReplyDeleteHave had luck searching the internet for "gotta-have-it" fabric using the info in the selvge. Sometimes a far away quilt shop has just what I am looking for. Good luck, your quilt is beautiful!
