I thought I better move forward with the applique border of the Cousin's Walk bird sampler.
It is big!
I oversized the triangles, so needed to trim first.
It certainly will not look like the original quilt, but I guess that is what will make it uniquely mine. It seems I ended up with extra flowers, leaves and buds.
As a reminder here is my center.
Here is the antique.
I need to start stitching the top and bottom borders. I am machine appliqueing.
I'm off to Las Vegas!
The kids (hahaha adult kids) and I are running the Rock N Roll series!
Cory is our spectator and cheerleader!
Saturday night starting and ending on Freemont street Rene and I are running a 5K.
Sunday night the strip streets will be closed and Rene is running the 10K (covid took some training time away boo-hoo) and Ken and I are running the half marathon. It should be fun!
My last half marathon was in September 2018. I'm doing it as a way to usher in my 60th birth-year. I'll have fun, take photos and celebrate!
See ya next week!
Your border is awesome. Good luck on your run!🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Three-Score! I'm Three-score and 11, so howdy, youngster. That is going to be a beautiful BEAUTIFUL quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow. Beautiful borders <3 Sounds like you've got a full dance card, so glad to see people going out and being strong! Hope you have a great time.
ReplyDeleteBefore the weekend is over, I hope to have some cutting done. Fabrics have been acquired and it's time for me to cut them up! Loving this Antique Block Challenge. Planning carefully for the May finish! :)
60???? darn kids anyways! LOL
Blessings,
Karen
I think your quilt is looking incredible, Lori! And where is the fun in having a quilt that looks the same as hundreds of others? Patterns are great suggestions, I think. :)
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for getting out and doing something cool for 60! I planned to hike the mountain outside my sewing room window when I turned 60--it would be my 4th time. But I developed foot trouble that year and it has never stopped. So much for my celebration. I hope yours is grand. Looks pretty cool!
Your border is looking fantastic! So much fun to make it just a little bit unique.:)
