Today I finished the top for my popsicle quilt. I am so happy with the way it turned out! I appliqued the popsicles while we were on our road trip this past summer. I picked out the sashing fabric and the border at The Little Shop when we returned last August. This week I finally took the time to pull it together.
On Wednesday of this week I met Bunkey at The Little Shop for the "sew-what". As my project for the morning I took this project to cut the sashings and corner stones. I was so inspired one I arrived home that I just want to run with it. Since I was not able to do that, I set aside Saturday to finish it up! I worked diligently until I had to go babysitting on Saturday afternoon and then woke up Sunday to put the borders on.
I will sandwich the top with batting and hand quilt it at a later date. The original, on the package, shows quilting around each popsicle and I would like to try that, although I have not hand quilted a larger project in ages. I think I will probably use it as a wall hanging, but since I have no place to hang it at the moment, I might rethink that decision. Oh well, I have time to decide!
