Something I've pulled out to work on.

So, though I didn't get anything quilty for Christmas, it so happens that a few weeks before, I had some time to play in my sewing room. I pulled out a 10yo UFO and started re-working it.

I had it all draped about, and wouldn't you know it, it made the perfect place to hide presents! lol

I've decided to make the green & blue borders smaller, and leave the printed fabric as the drape of this bed quilt. The printed fabric is what was used to make the dresdan plates, and will get a large scallped edge. I'd like to quilt large feathers to flow between the plates.

I hope I can get back to it soon...I'd like it done for Spring.

That looks familiar. Did it come to camp one year? I agree smaller borders would be good. Be sure to post when you finish.

This came to the very first retreat 10 years ago, prepped and ready as a quilt-as-you-go quilt... And then it sat, and sat, and sat. It's one of those that I have a vision for but not the ability to achieve that vision. But now I have a friend with a long-arm/computer who will let me use it for free... That may achieve the feathers that I envision.

So, I've un-sandwiched it, and am rebuilding the top, adding the borders. Then I will piece together the backing and we'll go from there.

I think I've decided on a 3/4" green inner border, 1" blue, and a full 22" of the floral, which will ultimately get scalloped.

Isn't funny that when you put things away for a while what you had originally envisioned just doesn't seem right. I think it will be beautiful! Have fun.
