1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March 2010. We have set the time frame as completed March 2011. I blogged about this on my blog thinking maybe one or 2 others may join us and lots of girls indicated an interest so I decided to start this blog where we can all encourage each other to meet the goals set along the way................
2nd SAL ......well so many of the girls wanted to continue on with another project and some new girls joined us and now approx 91 girls are stitching Natalie Bird's Tis the Season. March to Sept 2011
Where are we now.....3rd SAL....many girls want to stick with the SAL so now we have moved onto Anni Downs Some Kind of Wonderful - My Favourite Things Quilt.......Oct 2011-Oct 2012......Welcome.....Chookyblue........Not taking any new participants now sorry....

Better late than never!!! LOL

I finally recieved my pattern on March 31st.  I stitched as fast as I could and here they are...


Not too happy with this striped inner border fabric...I thought it would be more cany cane-ish...but I see I should have at least cut it on the bias...I think it is too light and does not frame the stitched piece....I may have to replace it.....hummm....what do you think?

On to my April blocks now!  Happy Stitching to you all!

The are pretty. The cane is a bit light but I think it is fine.

I would wait until your do some more light blocks and see what it looks like...........then decide..........well done on the quick stitching...........now you can move onto April.........

Kris said...

You are fast! I think the light one looks okay. Chookyblue's suggestion to wait and see it with the others is a good one I think.

Wow, that was some seriously fast stitching. Great job!! :-)

Chooky gave you some great advice, and I would definitely be trying that before unpicking it. You can always fix it later if you are still unhappy with it.

That was quick work. I've found if I'm unhappy with something, it just bugs me until I change it. Mind you, you have the luxury of waiting to see how it pans out with the other blocks. Lovely work.
