    Off Track complete

    May 19, 2011

    I love love this quilt.  It will so perfect slung over the back of my couch for the summer.  I fixed that Oops block…and despite many of you telling me to “leave it”….it would have made me a crazy lady so I fixed it.  I’m weird like that. 
    I pieced the back…the two large pieces are from The Good Life Collection from Robert Kaufman hitting stores in June & the navy blue strip is the Denyse Schmidt collection at Joann’s.   I quilted swirls & loops on this one…it turned out really really good.
    I have to say a big ol’ thank you to my husband for standing out in public holding up quilts while the wind is blowing and his wife is barking orders….love you lots Jay.
    Wouldn’t ya know that the day after Market I got the flu?  I’m counting my blessings I got it after market and not during.  Puking & patterns just don’t mix.

      I know what you mean about one off block driving you nuts... no way I could have lived with that either! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the green fabric on the back. I will have to seek some of that out for my "green" quilt (that is really in infant stage of me collecting a billion different fabrics!)

      This quilt is totally "on track" for me--it's great! Yay for not getting sick until after market. BOO for having to puke. I can hardly think of anything worse. Except for maybe an unexpected run-in with a snake. Because I'm phobic like that.

      I love the quilt! Love the choice of fabrics too :) and I'm so sorry you're ill, I went through 3 months of minimal food last year as my tummy wouldn't hold anything. Anyway, what I mean to say is that sometimes puking isn't optional. But it's not the normal state of things, so bodies tend to get over it as soon as possible. I hope you feel better really soon, and can't wait to see what you make next!

      Ooh, sorry about the puking. Hopefully it wasn't food poisoning from some sketchy quilt-party you went to over the weekend . . .or maybe too much 80's music.

      So sorry about the flu ... it can happen with the adrenaline letdown after a major event, particularly a First Market (lovely booth!). You'll be an old hand at the next one ... hopefully Fall Market will not be as stroll-in-the-park-slow.

      What color thread did you use to do the quilting? It blends in nicely (from what I can tell in the pictures). I finished the a king size top using this pattern and will be doing it on a long arm this weekend. I am down to figure out thread color to quilt with and I can't decide. I used the Kate Spain "Honey Honey" line from Moda and it turned out great. I also added 2 borders, a 2 1/2 inch and a 5 inch. Thanks!
