The robot quilt is off to the quilter's!! How excited was I to put it in the mail!! Another one on the way to completion! I chose a mottled red for the first border and a mustard yellow for the second border. Because the quilt was long enough but not quite wide enough, I made the top and bottom borders from 4" strips and the side ones 2". Now I just need to decide on a binding. Hmmm, that might take a while. Hopefully it will be fully completed by the end of July and on Master 2's bed for the end of winter! Thanks for the comment Sonia, I will try using the clothesline next time to take pictures. Anyhow, thought I would share a photo of a different completed project. I bought the fabric a while ago and had enough to make 2 floor blankets. I had one sandwiched and pinned ready to go for ages and pulled it out to quilt it and it just didn't work out right. I unpicked it once and it puckered again so I decided that the boys could have it to play with. The other quilt was for a new nephew in the family and it went together really well. I also really like the binding on it. That's enough sharing for me today, time to go and DO something!!
