Asking for opinions!

This is the quilt top I made from the $3 scrap bag from the quilt show in Pigeon Forge. It is a large throw size. The blocks are 5 inch squares. I just had to add the white fabric.

Now what I am asking is - do you think I need another white border. I think it looks unfinished and I have enough white fabric to add a border strip. If so do you think it should be the width of the other strips or should I made the border strip wider?

I do value the opinions of all you ladies and gentlemen out there in blog land. Let me hear from you!

Thank you Linda and Piwacket!

I received these lovely crocheted pot holders from Linda and Piwacket http:\\piwacketquilts.blogspot.com for my PIF. This is really a bit of nostalgia for me. My grandmother used to make these and I hadn't seen any in years. So these are really special to me because they brought back a wonderful memory.

I now have my three people to send my PIF's to from my last PIF. But I am going to be signing up folks for this PIF soon, so keep reading my blog for your chance to sign up for a new PIF.

Tomorrow I hope to post pics of my quilt top made from the bag of $3 scraps from the quilt show in Pigeon Forge. I need some advice on it.

PIF's in the mail!!

I realize I'm not good at blogging very often. I am going to try to do better and get some pictures on here. In the meantime...

Trudi and Deanna your gifts are in the mail today. I was waiting on the third person who signed up to send her address. But alas life must have taken a turn and I have to assume she is unable to join in so I need a third person who wants to receive a gift and join in this PIF.

I have it ready to go so if you enjoy PIF's please consider signing up with me and sending me your snail mail addy and I will get your gift off to you. In return you agree to PIF to three people. It is lots of fun.

I do have to add that I went to a wonderful quilt show in Pigeon Forge TN last week. It was wonderful. One of the vendors was selling those five yard bundles at a bargain price but... the best thing they had was the scrap bags. $3.00 for a bag full of coordinated fabrics. I bought six of them and wish I had bought more. Some of the strips were as much as 7 to 10 inches wide and all were WOF. I have already made one top from one of the bags.

Still waiting on some warm weather here in the not so sunny south.

Oh great!!

Now I see that my picture is upside down.

Maybe I just need new glasses, not a new camera.

Two blogs in one day!!

This is a record for me.

I wanted to share what I've been up to lately. I seem to be enthralled with what I call paper doll quilts. I wanted some small quilts to hang in my shabby chic bedroom.

But the one thing I need to learn is how to put the pictures where I want them.

And now that I see them on here I realize the quality is pretty bad. I have a new Canon camera and I think I need to read the instructions to improve my pictures. But then that would require taking time away from quilting.

Today I am trying to love like I've never been hurt and dance like nobody's watching.

Everybody try this!

PIF

I want to thank Shelly from Praire Moon Quilts for this wonderful quilt. The handwork on here is nothing short of amazing. Every stitch is perfect. I signed up for her pay it forward and this was my reward.

So now I need three people to sign up for my PIF and I will send you a handmade gift within the next year. In turn you agree to PIF and send three handmade gifts within a year. It is fun and I hope you will sign up soon. I do have to limit it to the United States because of postage issues.

Have a wonderful day!!
