Grassy Creek Top Finished

 I finished my Grassy Creek top yesterday.  I have decided that it is big enough.  I am not going to put borders on it. 




 I am not in love with this top, so there is no need to make it any bigger.  The design is fine, but my piecing leaves much to be desired.  The sashing is puffy in places because it is just a smidge too big.  In a perfect world, I would have seen this coming an been able to adjust for it, but because this quilt was a mystery, I did not know exactly how the pieces would be sewn together until the sashing was already made with the corners already snowballed.  It was not important enough to me to redo all those pieces, so I just made do with what I had.  My quilt is 82"x82".

SAL Check In

 At last SAL check in, I had no stitching to report.  Today I have just a little.  Three weeks ago, my Southern Sampler looked like this:


After working on  the vines for a few hours, it looks like this.  I did not tackle any of the queen stitches.  


This week I also got a note from the place where I had ordered purple aida cloth last October.  It is finally in.  I am not sure if I will force myself to work on this one or will switch to a different project once the aida is here.

To see what others in the group are working on:   Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, Sue, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Hayley, Megan, Deborah, Mary Margaret, Renee, Carmela, Sharon, Daisy, Anne, Connie, AJ, Jenny, Laura, Cathie, Linda, Helen

Grassy Creek Mystery, Clue 6

 Bonnie string pieced her units for Grassy Creek's clue 6.  I didn't have a good variety or quantity of gray scraps, so I cut mine from a single piece of fabric.


The mystery reveal came out today, so I have enough sewing to keep me busy for a few weeks!
