WIP Wednesday Update...

I'd post this late tonight, but I've got a hot date in the works ;)
So, Corrine's quilt was a bit trickier to get off the ground than I had thought.  I forgot that I did not have the outer border on it, so I needed to press the border fabric and figure out how wide they needed to be.  Once that was done, I realized that the backing should probably be pre-washed as it it BLACK!  I rubbed a damp piece of fabric on it and some black came off :(  Into the washer it went.  While it was washing, I made this for my friend Marianne's birthday.

 I REALLY like it and I hope she will too.  We are having lunch tomorrow to celebrate our birthdays.  We are just a week apart in age.  The funny thing is that our oldest daughters are almost the exact same age too :)

Once the quilt back was out of the dryer and pressed I realized that it now is just BARELY big enough :p  I had to piece it with a seam up the middle :p to spare any extra width.  This actually worked out well as the pattern matched pretty well.  I guess we will all have to live with the seam in the least bestest spot ;)
Here is the back pinned to the floor...

 Here is a shot of the bat and top rolled up waiting to get spread on the backing...

 I forgot to take a picture with everything pinned to the the floor and the quilt basted, but here it is basted and un-pinned from the floor ;D

I started to quilt straight way, but soon needed to get ready for my HOT date ;D  This is what it looks like all heaped around my sewing machine waiting for me to come back and sew!

 If you look close, you can see a little quilting in there :)

Happy Wednesday night!  I am off to have a BLAST!!!

Oh WAIT!!!  Just as I pressed "publish" my boys came in with this box from the UPS guy.... could it be another present?!  Whooppiee it is!!!  This one is from my AMAZING sister Alyson who lives in Seattle :)
