Ghastly Garden

This is the fabric I will use for the back of the Not Paper Pieced Quilt. This fabric had the color inspiration for the quilt itself, so it is perfect. I'll put it together over the next few days.**

I texted Julie that I had "quilt fatigue" over the weekend. It's true. I. Have. Had. It. If I don't see the inside of the studio for the next few days, I'll be quite content. It's been a long time since I worked on an "arty" quilt that took so much time. (Since 2013-2014 when I worked on Too Much Chicken.)

FORTUNATELY... there is this tennis tournament going on over the pond that you might have heard of. I have to sew the binding on the Parade of Zebras quilt, so I can sit on the couch, watch the tennis and hand stitch.  'Twill be loverly.

See you in a bit!




**PS One of my readers, Sandy, asked about the backing of the Flight of Fancy quilt that is shown at the end of my Birds Tutorial. It's leaves, and the binding is eggs. It got me to thinking that I should show the back or at least the backing fabric of each of my quilts. So I shall be working on that sometime.

Best use of the Ghastlie fabrics I've seen -- especially with your love of gardening. I like the idea of showing the backings of your quilts - since they always make a statement.

You deserve a break. Watch tennis, cuddle with Millie, cook, bake and chill!
