93 Yesterday
You can see that the three blocks to the right have their final borders on them and there are just three that lack their first borders.
I'm ready to be finished with the Civil War, fabric-wise, but I'm liking this quilt. To me, it has a contemporary feel, despite the geriatric nature of the fabrics.
It was 93 yesterday. Today it is a bit cooler, though still humid. Bobbi and I drove out to a LQS for a bit of retail therapy. I decided not to look at the price per yard, being as accustomed as I am to the prices in Lancaster County. It's important to support the LQS and, apart from 3/4 yard of purple CW to bind Ninety Degrees, my purchases were to make a couple of little tops and dresses for granddaughters.
I really don't want to put a border on 90 Degrees, but I guess I won't know until the blocks are assembled whether I'm right about that. Or not.
The Uvulati have decided that one of our summer projects will be lap quilts for wheelchair-bound patients at the VA Hospital, so those CWs will get used up that way, and I shouldn't worry if it turns out I need to make a purchase to finish 90 Degrees.
Comments
If "any port in a storm" works, then so does "any air conditioned quilt shop in 93 degree weather". Well, maybe it doesn't roll off the tongue quite as fluidly. : )
I've been sticking fairly well to my determination to use the fabrics I have before I purchase more. There is so much fabric in my wee sewing room that I don't have room for more anyway.
After a high of 96*F yesterday with evening storms, a lovely 85*F high is forecast for today. Of course, the humidity is still stifling, but this is June in the South so it's expected. Iced tea and air conditioning to the rescue.
Hugs!
Ok so what shop did you go to? I need a trip to Lancaster soon but always looking for quilt shops a bit closer for a day trip
thanks
