::Solstice Quilt Progress::

June 3, 2011 By Katie

So the Little Blue Cottage Quilting Bee Blocks finally have a home in my Solstice Quilt.  Finished up piecing the blocks together Wednesday, the back yesterday and basted today.

I just have to say that this is my favorite ugly quilt ever.  Like one of those dogs you see, or the old, “only a mother could love” kinda thing.

It is so not me, but so fits its Solstice Parade inspiration don’t you think?

It will get dirty.

It will get LOVED.

It will not fear picnic, parade, fireworks or beach.

Especially since it’s back is DARK DARK DARK too.

Aquarius, Gemini and Cancer, that’s us.

Quilting this weekend and then bind.

Darker Purple thread, but not sure how.  I’ll dwell on that tonight.

Have a good weekend.  Suppose to break 70 here!

    I think it needs big spirals with rays shooting out from them. And I’d use more than one thread color (since you have it!)

    Don’t stop now!!

        I wish, but we’re not very portable. I’d have you come here, but I won’t be home until Sunday afternoon.

    It will be very loved and quite cool.

    For a picnic quilt I wouldn’t stress about the quilting too much. Don’t go overboard because it will get well used. And heavy quilting make a heavier quilt. Not an attractive quality when you want to carry it around.

    Maybe a random grid?

      Thought about the ole random grid to echo the postage stamps. I want this baby done by Monday so your no stress quilting is up my alley.
