reasons 2b cheerful

~having time to quilt.
The schnibble quilting is proceeding, only, I have used up all the pale aqua silk thread and will need to order another. Unable to finish the inner border, I started on the blocks. I quilted 3 columns of holly leaves and am doing straight line quilting in the other 3 columns. It takes time, though, and my shoulder aches. I think the table I set Nina on is too high. :-(

ta-da!

Well, not really, no? I have only the blocks made into a top.



This is the Paganini schnibble so far. I intended to make it from stash and then a friend (who had recently been stateside again) surprised me with a Bliss charm pack and a couple half yards of the fabric. It all worked together well and I stitched half the blocks together, completing the top in a marathon effort last eve.

This morning, Sherri at A Quilting Life kindly allowed me to slide under the wire and submit my unfinished top for 'Le Petit- a year of small projects'.

I'm stalled on this until the extra fabric arrives for the borders. Maybe I start the winter quilt that I bought Kate Spain's 12 days of xmas prints for. Who knows?
