SAHRR finished

 I did the quilting with my walking foot and it is all a combination of stitch in the ditch and edge stitching.  I used a lavender thread.  The backing is a piece of fabric that has been in my stash.  The colors match up pretty well.  Had to add a piece to the edge of it to make it large enough.  I haven't put the quilt through the wash yet.   

I appreciated this quilt along.  I was wanting to do something with this bag of scraps that included the center (squares were sewn together).  So the SAHRR gave me the inspiration and patterns to get started and keep going.  

It's my party and I will whine if I want to..........

 Saturday was National Quilt Day so I got out 2 projects that I started back in 2011 and 2012.  On Saturday I got Orca Bay all assembled.  On Sunday I got Roll Roll Cotton Bowl all assembled.  On Monday I sandwiched RRCB and started quilting it.  

I had Orca Bay blocks sewn together and all the pieces made (previously) so I had to sew the border pieces together and sew the borders to the quilt top.  Sounds easy enough.  LOL.  

Roll Roll Cotton bowl x-blocks were made and the string blocks were made except for sewing them into squares.  I had lost the pattern so I didn't have enough blocks for the entire quilt.  I used what I had and made this smaller quilt and I like the size of it.  I used all the extra red & white hst's that I made previously and sewed them around the quilt for a border.  Like I said, no pattern meant no final border pattern.  I like this look and when I get done quilting it I will use that same shade of red for binding.  No fancy quilting designs.  Just straight lines to hold it all securely together.    Orca Bay is too large for me to struggle with on my machine so I will have a friend quilt it on her frame and long arm machine.  

SAHRR last round

 This is the quilt top.  Not quilted yet.
