OMG--July

OMG for July was to finish binding Honeycomb--

It's a BIG quilt--about 104"x110".   The fence is more than 8 foot tall and there is at least 20" on the ground.  I dyed the backing, attempted to get a teal, but its more of a slate blue. I quilted it with the panto hyacinth--leafy fronds.

Bias binding and rounded corners, stripes are so much fun!

(Ignore the loose thread.)  😉  This is a copy of an antique quilt, somewhat like an Irish Chain but not quite.  I pulled blender type strips in colors I liked.  The border and binding fabric were bought at the guild rummage sale last fall.  I'll link with Elm Street Quilts.

Except for binding the campground job keeps me busy.  I miss piecing but there are a lot of binding projects to be done.  

I miss shopping.  More time spent on the internet, I value the tutorials at Jordan Fabrics so I ordered some fabric from them.  I felt my stash was a bit stale, I needed some "zinger" fabrics.  There was a Kaffe Fassett mystery bundle, that should have zinger fabrics!

These prints will add interest to any quilt.  I also ordered some Kaffe Fassett yardage--

I've wanted to make a brown quilt someday, the middle fabric is a prospective border, the flowers are BIG.  I just liked the two prints with circles.  

Its almost August.  Sigh.  Can we start summer over?
