Today was the most beautiful sunny day. My husband and I walked up to our Main Street to see the classic / collector cars that were on display.
We each found our personal favorites and vehicles that reminded us of the cars of our youth.
We had a wonderful time walking up and down the street admiring the hard work that had been put into restoring these wonderful vehicles.
This is a picture of my latest flimsy finish – another Colour Catcher String quilt.
I have been using used Colour Catchers as string block foundations for some time now. Between other projects or when I am in a creative slump and I can’t come up with anything else to work on, I mindlessly piece strings to the Colour Catcher foundations.
I usually get stuck on the borders of a quilt. I was busy watching old re-runs of “I Love Lucy” on Friday night while I worked on the borders of this quilt. Before I knew it, I had a finished flimsy. A little laughter at the timeless comedy antics of Lucy and Desi made me forget how boring I find attaching bindings. This quilt will be a perfect utility quilt for the winter when we are looking for an extra quilt on the bed.
This top now measures 97″ x 104″.
I love the lime green border fabric. Lime green is my favorite colour and I couldn’t resist using this fabric as the cornerstones and border to set off these colourful blocks.
