Done!!!!

Well the top is done......now just layering and quilting!  I am thrilled with the way it turned out, I just love it!  Did a little tweeking with the border and it's done!  I have to say, piecing the border took alot of time but every minute was worth it......

AND....I also have have a new design wall!  Jonathan, see, I knew he was good for something!  Here's the Holy Snowball quilt.......

....and here it is again, after I straightened the design wall!

So the plan for today is to get to the store, I'm feeling much better now that I'm on the antibiotics, and get it layered (and a better picture!)  Get things prepared for tomorrow's lunch crowd and then get home, unpack Bernie (my fabulous Bernina) and start quilting this baby!

Jonathan is chomping at the bit to get on the computer so while I'm waiting for my ride to the store I am going to start working on The Flakes (offcuts of the Snowballs).....

Have a great day everyone!

A sneak peak!

I actually had an evening to quilt last night!  No shopping, no classes, no other pressing things to do (besides block pressing!) so I got to work on the Snowballs......

Here it is 1/4 done -

Not the greatest design wall but it works.......and here it is 1/2 done!

So - so far I'm not loving it but I'm moving right along with it - here it is 3/4 finished!

Okay - it's starting to grow on me and I would have had it finished except I messed up the last block!  I don't want same fabrics touching so I had to pull apart the last one and it was 2:00 A.M. so I gave it up!  Tonight I have a class to teach but may still get it done - I'll see how I feel when I get home.....

I do have something special planned for the borders!  Just so you know - this is a FREE PATTERN called Holy Snowballs!  Kathy made one last summer and I thought it would be a great pattern to highlight those Kaffe Fassett large prints!  I think I made the right choice but am withholding judgement until I get it finished!  My plan is to take this one to the end - then work out my design for the flakes and complete it!  We'll have to see how that goes!  There's always something tugging at me......

Have a great day everyone!
