| Kalvert Kliffs March UFO |
Thursday, March 31, 2016
I made a huge amount of progress before going to sleep. This had to do with getting in the sewing room earlier...we had leftovers! What's not to like with spaghetti the second night?
I took a suggestion from Janet about the inner border. I do agree that a light fabric might be a better choice. I was pretty partial to the green so I found another fabric where there was just enough to do the job. I have the main top sewn together right now. The inner border will go on later today and then of course the pieced units for the next border. The more I look at this project the more I think that the pieced border will finish Kalvert Kliffs. A dark green fabric is on my mind for the binding when the time comes. Not sure if Marti at 52quilts.com can wait for my finish late tonight. I'll warn her it's coming...=^.^=...

I have been working on finishing Kalvert Kliffs by the end of March. I am not so sure it will happen :(!
Starting after dinner and kitchen cleanup, I only had one pieced border unit sewn. All fortunately were cut into the pieces I would need. Some of the squares were marked for the sew line, but most were yet to draw. I had that done when KoKo came to sit with me.
You see he is pondering what I will use for the inner border... From the fabrics that remain that are big enough there is green...
Sorry but there wasn't enough room on the wall for setting the pieced border units next to the third choice. Do you have a favorite? The inner border is 2" finished so it will be the same size as the units that make up the blocks. After the pieced border another solid border is part of the design. It will probably end up being black.
The calendar isn't standing still =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, March 28, 2016
Did you locate all the eggs? Did you find the golden egg? Yes, I suppose these are questions for the children in our lives... Did you have an Easter egg hunt at your house? We enjoyed dinner with family and I didn't have to cook more than one scrumptious apple pie!
I have my March UFO up on the design wall. The units are still in pieces, but I'm pretty certain this will be the layout for Kalvert Kliffs. The pieced border is still yet to stitch. I should get some good time in tonight.
I showed you Kaffe Kisses completion yesterday, but I would like to hear opinions on a binding. I once thought a diagonal would be a good choice, but now with all the wildness perhaps the solid green is better?
