Too much haste, too little speed!



Just to show you that not everything goes well on planet Sew & Sow...






Two grannies gone wrong - I blame trying to squeeze another new make into a tight schedule!


Never mind  - yesterday morning they looked like this ....











And now they look like this....








A bit of sashing is required and I will be ready to put that quilt together.  I know I want to do an allover pattern in machine stitching but the question is what!?




Maybe some fans, maybe some clamshells, maybe some ditsy little flowers - hoping inspiration will come when I get it all basted but I am open to suggestion with this one!






In the meantime I have received this fabric in the post 










Which means I can now add borders to this quilt top!






Like so!













No excuse for not finishing this one soon!  Just got to piece that back!

  1. Sorry, but I did laugh when I saw the second block gone wrong. Not sure but that one just did it. Glad you aren't perfect. Makes it easier for me! ;-)

  13. Great granny blocks! I like the bright colors of your second quilt. Ah, so many quilts, so little time. If only we didn't have to sleep at night, we could quilt all night long....

  15. Those must be liberated grannies. They are coming. Sooner than we think, there will be all sorts of grannies walking aound with tats and weird piercings.

    What about quilting it in bubbles, a.k.a. stacked circles.
