Blue Floral Crumb Squares - backing done -

After arranging the bits and pieces to fill in the space in the top right corner -

And the bottom left corner -

And a longer one to cover the bit at the top -

Adding the extra from the right corner to fill in the top section on the left side -

This one needed straightening - don't you hate that? - when you don't get a straight cut and need to trim it? - I do - and I want it to at least LOOK straight when I sew it in - so I centered the 1" line in the middle of the little gold squares in the Red and Blue medallions -

Not off by much at the bottom - but off by almost an inch at the top -

And the other side needed straightening, too -

And the Green geometric needed trimming - but not much -

Then I got them all sewn together -

And had the gap at the top - like I knew I would -

So I added the white/gold and got my points looking GOOD -

So - all together - on the floor for it's "glamour shot" -

It's not wonderful - but it's done -

And it used up some odd ball stuff in my stash - so it's all good -

And some close-ups - for your viewing pleasure - LOL - ;))

It's all ready to baste and quilt -

And will be - one of these days - LOL - ;))

Tomorrow I'm going to cut out the RED Squirrel -

And play with the Coins Quilt - ;))

I can show you the progress on the Coins Quilt -

But I want to play with the RED Squirrel "behind the scenes" -

Until I can show you the finished top -

I don't want to "give it away" just yet -

But if my "left-handed" cutting works out -

And I think it will -

It's going to be really pretty -

So wish me luck - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
