Blue and green should never be seen.....??

I am delighted, in fact tickled pink and loving the fact I can say 'see' to DH, that in this months Down Under Quilts there is an artile on blue and green quilts. After umming and arring for a while and deciding no, I really do want green borders on my blue quilt, I'm so pleased others can see the great colour combination too!! That said... I'm grrring cause I'm about 20 inches short to finish the final border...I went to the local quilt shop to get some and they close at 3pm....what the??? That's when I finish work...so I cant make it there till Thursday...and I was on such a roll!!

Nasty!!

Tagged...again

I had been tagged by Helen before...I tried to ignore it...as I couldn't think of 7 things to write (still can't)... but now Natalie has tagged me too so I guess I will have to play along... • Start with 7 random facts/habits about yourself • People who are tagged have to write their 7 things on their blog • Then choose another 7 people to get tagged and list their names 1. I love my middle name and plan on calling my daughter it one day....lucky DH agrees 2. I've always wanted 6 kids...we'll have to wait and see...this one DH doesn't agree on!! 3. I love quilting but have only been doing it for 3 1/2 years...I'd love to make an art quilt one day...just don't know if I'm 'arty' enough...lol 4.....ummm I'm stuck I'll be back later 4. I don't like seafood cause I can't stand the smell of it...I think if I could get past the smell I might like it 5. I only iron when I'm in the mood...that said I iron everything...Therefore I ha...

Problem Solved

I found just what I was looking for...the perfect green to finish this quilt...the lady at my local patchwork store was showing me all sorts of colours...but I found it...just what I had imagined in my head...I love it!! These pictures were taken before adding the last green border...same width as the other green border....now is it big enough?? I'm thinking about one more border....but what colour...oh no here we go again!!! Wow that's a lot of blogging in one weekend!!!
