A Finished Top

It took a while for me to decide what substitution

I wanted to make for the wooden chair block and once

I decided on Fall, I needed my Honey Bear to

draw me a football that I

could reproduce.

I have had the present block ready for a while now

 and just needed to do

the patchwork to go in between the last three blocks.

I plan to purchase some sheeting for the backing 

and hope to have it quilted by a new blogger who 

has just bought a long arm. With the buttons 

on my top, I'm not sure she can do it.

If not, I will quilt it by hand and if I have

to do that, there is no way I'll finish by the deadline.

I wasn't sure that I wanted to do this year's SAL

because of all the applique but once

I committed, it gave me the opportunity to learn 

needle turn and so I'm glad that I did this.

It has been a much larger and more time

consuming project than the other SALs which

I also completed. I am happy now to move on

to something else, hopefully a smaller

project.

I have the embroidery done for the pin cushion

and plan to complete it in the next few weeks.
