Give Thanks

 I give thanks for being able to work with panels and come up with border ideas for them. Sometimes they can be a bit wonky so you have to work with them by spritzing them with water, sometimes a little starch and a hot iron. This one wasn't to bad so it went quickly. 

My additions to this panel start with the skinny green sashing and then added in the gold, orange and neutral HST's. I surrounded that by a small black border and finished with a colorful border of mums. It looks so pretty on my quilt hanger than I kinda hate to see it go, LOL. But I will let it go as I have too many seasonal ones already. 

I am getting low on this backing fabric, I bought several yards way back and love using for the fall sunflower quilts and runners.

It was a rainy weekend so it was sewing day all day on Saturday, I pieced this one. Quilting will be this week I hope.

Catching up

I have a bit of catching do to do as I pieced a few wall quilts using panels before we went on vacay.  And since being home I have quilted them. It feels so good to be catching up! But you will be seeing several fall wall hangings in the next few posts.  Here is the first.  As you can see this is how the panel started.

The first sashing I added is the green to bring it up to a size that worked for my HST units. Well it wasn't coming out quite right so you will notice that I added a gold polka dot fabric right in the center of each row to make it work. Then a black sashing all around to separate the sunflower outer border to make it stand out more.

Off to the longarm for some custom quilting. I always enjoy that;)

Ta Da all done! Some one will love seeing this hang in their home for Thanksgiving I hope. Yes it is listed in my Etsy shop.
