Lots of work has gone into my snail quilt and the top for it is together and just waiting on me to make up my mind on what I want for the border. Options are a scrappy string-pieced border with a solid binding, or just pull a single fabric for the border and use a scrappy binding.........not sure which way I want to go.The final 12" of length was added -- Right side shown in top pic, left side in bottom pic.
The one large snail didn't use on the front I plan to applique to the extra wide muslin I got for the backing. I'll use the block as my quilt label.
Got the ribbon or lace trim on the final 16 plain washcloths that I have for bibs.
And I went row-by-row hopping for patterns on the north side of the Dallas metroplex. Have 7 patterns now, but only 6 of them will end up in the final quilt. Plan to do one more day of hopping to get the final 2 patterns I need for my planned layout. Have already put two of the rows together.......so I've got a good start on getting the quilt finished quickly.
