In between loads of laundry this week (three kids home from sleep-away camp!), I managed to add the sashing to the Modern Block of the Month Quilt. It is now a finished quilt top- YAY!!!! I’m still in love with the Kona silver color. And the Tula Pink Freefall in battleship grey really is the perfect backing. But watch out for shrinkage (at least I hope that is what the problem is). The two yards I ordered wound up being only 67 inches after washing. I hadn’t thought to measure it before hand. Luckily, it was still more than enough, since this is a smaller quilt.
I’m about half way through basting the quilt, and then I have to figure out how to quilt it. That part always makes me nervous!
