Ribbon Quilt

Part 2

Ribbons, ribbons, ribbons!

Really it has been enjoyable sewing

the ribbons to their foundation.

Using clear thread and a zig zag on top

and white thread in the bobbin.

(Did I already tell you that?)

I have averaged 20 blocks per day, which

includes cutting, and marking the foundation

and then adding the ribbons.

Backing fabric is ordered, but it is nearly Christmas

(well the day of ordering was) so I do not

have much hope for a fast delivery, at least if

my experience this year with receiving and sending

packages is any indication. Update; it is now the 28th and

still no fabric, why am I not surprised. Maybe tomorrow

Here are the 90 blocks needed for the top.

I wish I could get the sparkle to show.

So while I await the purple fabric I got to work on a

sham. These ribbons are smaller and I did not have enough

white or other colors to make it look good.

So we have red, white (a little trim) and blue.

It is all done but took a long time. I wanted to miter the corners of the trim

and thank goodness for YouTube

and

those who are generous in sharing their expertise.

I would have never figured this out.

So here we are as we await the fabric for the

sashing and border.
