Pop-up Quilting Day

Just 4 of us gathered on Saturday for our pop-up quilting day but we did progress a little with our quilts on the go.

Of course there was the lovely lunch under our bookcase quilt.


We pillowcased Stephanie's Bright Stripes and then I started quilting it but we really need to pin or baste the layers together before proceeding. Elaine got the horrible job of unpicking the bit of quilting I had done.


Then we decided to start really thinking about the Seminole pieces and how to put them together to make them work as two single bed quilts. Some strips needed extensions added and even some embellishments to fill empty places.


Rather than losing the zig-zags on some strips we had a go at appliqueing them to the dividing strip.


In all lots of thinking, discussing options and laughing of course, and not very many expletives were heard.
