Mid-Week Sneak Peek: 01/26/2011

Time for another sneak peek!  So I haven't updated you in a while on my curved piecing project, which I started last year as part of the Project Solids Challenge for the Philly MQG.  I finished the top for the quilt and I made it into a table runner.  It measures about 16 inches wide by about 84 inches long and I think it will look nice in our dining room (one of the photos shows it laid out on the table before I finished the top).  I decided that because this quilt top is so crazy, I wanted the quilting itself to not be "too perfect", so I'm not going to machine quilt it.  Which means, I get to do my first hand quilting!  I read some instructions in a couple books and then got started.  It's hard for me, but I got some tips from Laura at Spool, so I think I'm going to be OK.  This might be a year-long project for me ... but when it's done, it'll be great.  I picked a yellow thread because I didn't have any yellow in the quilt yet, so I figured I would add some.  I'll also do the binding in yellow to coordinate with the quilting.
