What I finished: The Anniversary quilt. It was a large quilt, about 60" X 80". Backed with more fmf fabric and bound with a charcoal stripe.
What I've been working on: Hand stitched quilt top. I've been calling the pieces "scales"... like dragon scales. I started by making a clamshell pillow top and thinking the clamshells would be cool elongated and pointed, and worked up a template for "scales". I thought it would be a good take-along project for the summer. I think I am half way done already though, so will finish, add a border, and make a lap throw size quilt. Right now it is about 40" across. I have a lot of future project ideas that would work with this template... like green tones of a forrest, or neutral linen look with embroidery, or medieval colors for a Dragon scale quilt... As usual more ideas than time.
As well as too many ideas, a lot of "should do's". I should work up a pattern to sell since it's uniquely out of my brain... some people make a lot of money off patterns. Well, again... the time thing.
I am SO GLAD it's a weekend, and a three day one too!
Happy Weekend! Happy Memorial Day!
I hope I'm not burning my dutch oven chicken wings!!!
