The heat is back again and I seem to be moving much slower! My house is cool but if I have to go out to do anything, I get pretty hot. I did manage to finish the blocks for the 4th round of the Facets quilt. This round featured red as the main color with light pink contrast. The middle is made up of a flower motif of any color. The blocks measure 6.5" square. I use paper piecing for some of this block which helps me go a little bit faster. I love the contrast of the rows. My next color is purple! It's supposed to be dark purple but I plan on using what's in my stash.
I couldn't find anything in my stash for the binding of the Halloween table topper. I had to go to my local quilt shop to buy a few replacement lights for my longarm and I bought this fabric for the binding. I only had to cut 3 strips so it was quick to prepare the binding. I'm hoping to sew it on tomorrow. If the heat doesn't get to me!!
What a lovely latest round on your Facets piece, Rosemary!! This is coming together beautifully...
ReplyDeleteThis heat is so enervating!! I have to go out to food shop today so going as early as I can...Stay cool hugs, Julierose
Thanks, Julierose! It's not a quick project but I'm enjoying it. I went to the mall and shopped with air conditioning! I hated being outdoors!!
DeleteFacets gets more amazing with each round. How big will it be? I look forward to seeing the finished Halloween table topper.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanna! It should finish at 87.5" square. It's definitely on the big side! I just sewed the binding on today. I'm hoping to finish it soon.
