Whiling away the time with Covid...

 I am certainly getting caught up on my quilting these days since being confined to quarters.  Today there was a knock on the door.  It appeared to be a real estate agent looking for a listing.  When I yelled through the door, "I can't open the door.  I have Covid", he backed down the stairs holding his folder up in front of his face.  You can never be too careful, I guess.

Anyway, to the quilting news.  I had to show you the great label I found for the pink Hourglass quilt.  My sister can choose from two bindings if she gets that far.

I really lucked out with that label

Here is a picture of the huge Chinese Coins quilt.  It's kind of scrunched up till I can find a better way to photograph it.  


Chinese Coins Quilt all finished


Flange binding and backing

Here is the last Zipper Quilt.  I really liked the scrappy binding that Marybeth made.  You'll see I wasn't very adventurous about the quilting.  No free motion on that one or the Chinese Coins Quilt.  The vertical serpentine stitch worked really well on the Coins quilt so I decided not to agonize over the quilting and I did the Zipper quilt the same.  It seemed to work well with those vertical rows.  Both these quilts need labels.  Even though we had a huge donation of labels I could not find anything suitable.  I've decided to leave the labels up to someone else, anyway.  I have more labels coming once I finally make that trip over to Vancouver Island, hopefully a week from today.  But after 11 days testing positive for Covid and not feeling a whole lot better I'm not too hopeful.

Zipper Quilt #2 finally quilted and bound

Tonight I am going to spray baste my Scrappy Zig Zag quilt and get started on the quilting tomorrow while you are all at Marybeth's.
