In the meantime...

Maggie's quilt is in the mail, and her mama wants a surprise...so, Part II is delayed a short while.













In the meantime, I made this doorstop via the excellent instructions from Oh, Franson!...

Patchwork Doorstop


Because our old arrangement could not work any longer!

The dogs don't seem to notice it's filled with beans, so I won't revert to my alternate plan to use aquarium rocks.

Oops, I didn't read the directions to use a 1/2 inch seam on the nine patch square. That's a quilter's brain for you. I like how it turned out anyway.




I love patchwork binding, although I have yet to use it on a quilt. So, I took i heart linen's advice and made a roll up for some future use.

Patchwork binding

And finally, this is the breathtaking sunset I saw today. What can I say? I'm a lucky girl.

I love that Oh, Fransson! doorstop pattern! I've been meaning to make one... and your patchwork binding. Wow! It's so pretty. I don't think I'd have the patience to make it if I wasn't going to attach it to a quilt then and there!

I love your doorstop! I have some of the same fabrics so I might have to whip one up too.
