This one has been a long time in the works. I really wanted to have it out before Halloween this year.
I thought I would bind it in black...but today when I started auditioning black fabrics from my stash they all looked a bit washed out. I wasn't sure if it was the fabric or my eyes (having optic neuritis issues this week...makes everything a bit dull...) I was really frustrated when ...
I almost tripped over this purple polka dot fabric that had auditioned for the "role" of elephant in a baby quilt I on my design wall...it didn't make the cut but didn't make it back to it's spot in the stash either! Lucky for me...
So purple it is....
Also, I'm trying a new quilting product. These little "caps" for the ends of pins are so much easier for me to handle than safety pins!
A friend was using them at retreat last month.
She really liked them (they are all the funky little white and red "dots")so I went online and got a few bags to try! So far so good...
