This was kind of a crazy week. "You have a significant scratch on your cornea." The upshot was I could not wear my contacts for a week. My glasses are 10 years old and I have had 2 prescription changes for my contacts in that time. I hardly ever wear my glasses. I found that it was hard to see detail. I changed my focus for the week. Think large. I quilted a fleece throw for a birthday present, a charity quilt and a mid-sized quilt.

Remember the fabric I ordered and got in the mail last week? I put the inner border on my Oh My Stars quilt and then went to add the outer border. When I unfolded it I found it was a yard less than what I had ordered and been charged for. I called the shop and they apologized profusely then immediately sent the right amount while I sent the short piece back to them. I hope to get that border on this coming week. 

I put the borders on my #1 Ashcombe quilt, pieced up a flannel backing for it and got it quilted. This is made from the Riley Blake Quite Contrary collection. That was a big chunk of the fabric out this week. I pieced all the blocks (the fabric was already cut out) for a twin of this quilt. 

I did free motion quilting on this of loops and heart shaped leaves. It was fast and fun.

I love the green plaid I used for the binding. The flannel backing is so soft. I find I am using flannel on the back more often. It really is nice. 

I need to make a total of 4 of these quilts. One and one half down, two and a half to go. 

Because of my bad eyesight this week I was not able to do any machine applique on my basket quilt. I tell you, Monday can't get here soon enough. I also plan on getting new glasses soon. This is ridiculous.

Hope you have a great week QFF*!
