Play day -

 

 

Starting with the backing for my Harmonic Convergence  - 

From the book - Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilts - 

 

I took the top off the wall - 

And then put it back up - with the seams facing me - 

So that I could put the backing chunks in the same place as on the front - 

 

I made the columns extra long so that I could adjust them up and down - 

Until I found a combination/placement that I liked - 

 

But - as you can see - I needed one more column in the center portion - 

 

 

So I sorted through the "scraps" -

 

And made another column - 

 

I still have to sew it all together - 

But it should be plenty big enough - 

 

And then - while I was at it - 

I cut some strips for the binding - 

 

I think I'll make a "flanged" binding with the GOLD "accent"/flange fabric -

And a scrappy mix of the batiks for the "main" fabric - 

 

The plan is to make the backing - and the binding -

Then put the top/back/binding in the "closet" with the rest of the tops -  

Until I find my Free-motion quilting mojo/muse - wherever she went - LOL -

Then - after dinner - we made more progress on the puzzle - 

 

 

We only have this little section in the lower left corner -

 

And this section in the top right corner -

 

And we're down to these few GREEN pieces - 

And the bowl of PINK pieces - 

So we should be able to finish it tomorrow -

 

And - because she's such a good girl - 

I have a couple more photos of Echo - 

 

Sorry - this one is a little blurry - 

I couldn't "re-take" it -  

 

Because she moved - 

And decided to go lay on her blanket on the couch - 

 

I think she was waiting for us to go back to the puzzle - 

 

So she could take a nap - LOL - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
