Kittens arrived from Kerry. I ditched the fabric I thought would be nice for the binding and also the jumbo ric-rac that was to be part of the binding too. I just didn't like either for this all too cute design.
I have in the past used the same fabric that the cross stitch is framed with as the binding, but I'm not sure I like it either. This project is packed up until I can do some auditioning at Rosie's. A grey to match the plaid is on my mind. I will know something for certain soon.
Joe's tie quilt is assembled and also waiting for some auditioning at Rosie's for the borders surrounding the bow ties. I would like to have something that brightens the project, but keeping it masculine of course. Black is the obvious choice I suppose. I think a dark shade of blue might work well. This fabric will need to work with an outer border. Lots to match up LOL.
In the meantime I pulled out one of the table runner patterns my mom liked. Using her fabric all the way on this one.
I have the middle nine patch cut now. The next one to cut will be the corners. I plan to use the same focus fabric with the purple. The flying geese will be a variety of the fabrics on the bottom with the yellow as a background for them.
Hope your day...the first of July...is going well. I'm all set up with timing to watch USA FIFA World Cup Match later tonight. Have a wonderful July 4th. Keep your pets in the house during the fireworks =^.^=
