SO MANY CHOICES WITH THIS SCRAPPY QUILT!

This Scrappy quilt is 99" x 99"....how I came up with that heaven only knows but I love love how it turned out.

I wonder how this would work on my king size bed????

So................ I had such a debate about this quilt.

What color to make the sashings.....white, yellow, black???  Ended up with gray and I so love it.

Then the next debate was whether I should do a fancy border or just plain stripes.  As you can tell the stripes won out.  I felt if I made a fancy border that it would just become a UFO and besides this is just a Utility quilt, not a show quilt.

Next debate, should I do fancy quilting or just meander the puppy???  Once again, if I chose to fancy quilt it it might become a UFO.  Meandering would take less time and get the job done.  I will confess tho I was so tempted to do some fancy FMQ and still wish I had of but for the sake of time....I think I made the right decision.

Now on to pillowcases.

I also wrote down my time when I was meandering it on my domestic machine.  It took me four hours and nineteen minutes to quilt it.  It took me an hour to sandwich, iron, and add to the batting and about an hour to put the binding on.  So we are looking at a little over six hours from start to finishing the quilt top.

IS IT WORK? OR IS IT PLAY?

I have to say that I have gotten more done these two weeks being sick than when I was well. Last week I blamed it on the meds I was taking. They were suppose to make me sleepy but instead they made me run circles in my sewing room. Well....today I had quite the day in the sewing room. I think what happens is I am tired that I am able to maintain focus....sounds weird I know.

I had some left over squares in a basket so I decided to put them together and to make this runner.  I put two doggies in the corners.  I have the one dog kinda hidden because I forgot to stitch his ear.  I just love this one, so fun and fresh.

Then this one is left overs from the larger topper I did the other day. I had to cut out the middle of the hearts, so I just cut these out too and made a smaller one. I have enough hearts left over to make a pot holder. I had a blast stitching this one. I tried to do different FMQ in each white space of the hearts. Was so fun.

This one too is made from the left overs, is a smaller version of the larger one. I still don't know if I like this one.  

 My husband came in to my sewing room/James's room for now and said "You sure are working hard".....I said working or playing? I am playing hard. Been a fun day and I do think I am on the up swing of this cold.
