Quilting projects..
I am still running behind on my projects..
I am still working on the purple and green quilt ( hope to finish up the top this week 20-27th) have the BOM top to finish.. still unsure just how I will put it together, but I think I'm going use sashing around the blocks.. making the 8.5" blocks the same size as the 12.5" blocks.. then add a 3 boarders. So once they are done I will have 3_ ( OMG!! 3) quilts that I will need to quilt.. ( passing out) I am thinking about sending 1 off to be quilted.. but the lady I found. can only do 4 patterns. and is not crazy about Myself supplying the cotton batting. Still she only charges 40.00 for the top.. and it would be done fast.. I will have to ponder this some more.. I still may quilt all of the quilts myself.. Not sure yet.. but if I do it will take longer to catch up.. I do have to say this.. the 2.5" blocks on the green and purple quilt is the longest on going project I have under taken.. I don't think my idea that I had for a 1.5" quilt is ever going to get off the ground after doing that green and purple quilt. will back to work on it. -- Christina Hilburn Quilting Photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/cchilb |

Quilting projects..
Do you have some sort of deadline for getting all these done? What's the
hurry? And there's no law that says you have to quilt every top. Quilt tops pile up a little bit in my cupboard, but that's a Good thing, they take up less space that way. And when I need a quilt for something, I can pull out a top and quilt it. You have been busy though! I'm doing my BOM pretty much the same way.
