A slight adjustment

This afternoon - when I was looking for one particular Squirrel -

I heard this piece hollering at me -

"Pick me!! - Pick me!! - I want to be on the BACK of your potholders!!" - LOL -

So I made a slight adjustment -

And decided to use it for the backing on my potholders - ;))

It's a 1/4 yd cut - so it's 9" wide - and plenty big enough -

Then when I checked my drawer for "potholder parts" -

I found some Insul-Brite® that I had left over from last time -
Already cut in 8" squares -

So I checked my "potholder post" - HERE -

And sure enough - I made the last batch of potholders at 8" square -

So I made another slight adjustment -

And decided to make these 8" -

Using some of the YELLOW as border strips -

To bring them up to size -

But I only got this far before it was time for dinner - ;))

Oh - and the Squirrel that I was looking for that started it all? -

This "not-quite finished - but almost" quilt from a Craftsy FMQ class that I took a couple of years ago - Free-Motion Quilting Essentials - with Christina Cameli -

I really enjoyed the class - and I learned a lot -

I finished quilting all of the blocks -

And quilted all of the sashing strips -

But I still need to finish quilting the outer border areas -

Gene finished his - HERE -

And that was just the nudge I needed to dig mine out -

Now that the weather is getting cooler -

And I'm running out of year -

I thought it might be time to tackle -

All of the Squirrels on The Mountain To Be Quilted -

They are making a LOT of noise -

Hollering - My turn!! - My turn!! - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
