(no subject)

Just pin-basted my quilt top (those little lumps and dimples are the pinned spots). I'm really happy with this little number, which I started just to pass the time when I had no large project in mind. My original inspiration was a large piece of dark lavender fabric with red and blue pinstripes, which I intended to use as border and backing. When I finished the center, though, I saw that the purple fabric overpowered it; my daughter helped me pick out this green border. I mitered the corners, a new skill for me.

As it turns out, Wednesday we hope to buy fabric for a large commission, so the timing is perfect!
