Last night was filled with the excitement of the Blood Wolf Lunar Eclipse and a football game. I stayed up way past my bedtime, so I officially declared today to be a Pajama Day.
My morning meditation began with reading one of my all time favorite books that my students and I loved. Martin’s Big Words: The Life of Martin Luther King Jr. , by Doreen Rappaport is an awarding winning book. The illustrations by Bryan Collier are absolutely stunning. Teacher Tube has a reading of this book.
The rest of my day was spent completing my quilt top. I had all the broken dish blocks already made, so it did not take long to piece the last border together. I had been dreading making all of those broken dish blocks, but it turned out to be the most fun part of this project.
I do not know if I will piece the backing or look at the wide quilt backing that my friend and quilter, Jeana, has on hand.
Freddy Moran advises quilters to never point out mistakes. So, I won’t point out the blocks that are too white and light for the rest of the quilt. š
I might rip and redo those two sections.
Or not.
Congratulations!
Thanks, Christine.
I just love this quilt. The broken dish border adds the final “pop”
Thank you. I got carried away making the broken dish blocks, so I have enough to make something else.š
That’s a bonus
This quilt is truly stunning!
Thank you, Sandy. It is something different for me. Something I hope to continue to explore.
Cool, cool, COOL photo! And, did you like the outcome of the football games?!! I stayed up WAY too late for me as well. But I was off on Monday so I enjoyed every minute of it. Football, stay up late, hand sewing – it was fabulous. And I LOVE the idea of pajama day, too. ~smile~ Roseanne
I was happy with the outcome of the game. Hope you give pajama day a try. It is good for the soul. š
Wow, that is beautiful! How long did it take you to finish?
Thank you. It took a week.
