I Tried To Support an LQS Last Friday
Friday was the day I was going to go to my closest LQS, buy backing for my Wild and Goosey quilt and head to the longarmer to drop it off. But when I got to my closest LQS, it was closed for a special quilting event, and it wouldn't be open until Monday. UGH! It would have been so much easier for me to just order the backing I needed online, but I try to support local shops. I'd already wasted 20 minutes driving to the LQS. The next closest LQS is twenty minutes farther from the first LQS, and it doesn't carry many wide backing fabics. The third closest LQS is 30 minutes from my house, but about 40 minutes from the first LQS, and the weather was yucky. So I came home and placed my first order from Missouri Star Quilter.
Today I got the blocks for the interior of Allietare sewn together and chose my border colors.
I'm going to use yellow for the inner border and blue for the outer. I auditioned brown instead of blue, but it was just too drab.

I love your colors! I'm curious to see how mine play together, but I've a few more blocks to finish for part 5.
Sorry about the LQS being closed. I get weekly emails from most of mine, so I know when something is going on.
Everything looks better with a little blue. =) Your quilt is going to be amazing, Laura!!
