UFO redux

I think I am going to call this quilt
Seam Ripper Madness!
I have used my seam ripper at least half as much as my sewing machine.
Well, not really, but it feels like it.

I'm fine with that. I think the seam ripper is one of my favorite tools.
The kid hates it when I make her use the seam ripper.
Hahahaha. I love to make her use the seam ripper!


So we left off with this magenta border, hated it!
I ripped it out and set about trying other fabrics

I went with this brown. A real surprise for me, but it works much better.
I'm thinking because I was auditioning it on my wood floors, I was leaning toward the brown.

There is quite a bit of brown in the other fabrics and I think it really lets the blocks
stand out and take the center stage.


For the corners, I used another brown from the kid's stash.
For a new quilter, the kid has a very nice stash!
Lucky for me, she is very generous.

I still have to sew all the componets together,
but I finally like how it looks.


I have all day tomorrow to sew!!!
I will finish this top and . . .

My Hard Candy Quilt is finally ready to be pieced!
I finished all those blocks today.
