Progress on the DAD T-Shirt Quilt, SAHRR Blocks and A Cobbler

It was another cold weekend in the mountains last weekend but it didn’t keep us from the quilt shop. My husband selected a solid red fabric for the inner border of his t-shirt quilt. As it turns out, I have quite a bit of that fabric in my stash so we only purchased more black that I had used in the sashing for the outer border.

I made and attached the red inner border. Then I made and attached a 5 ½” border to the sides. As I was “ciphering” the measurements I need for the top and bottom, I realized I should have cut 6 ½” strips for the outer borders.

Out comes Jack the Ripper…

Back to the quilt shop on Monday afternoon to get a bit more fabric. I was able to cut the correct size strips and attach side borders.

The top and bottom borders have some extra elements that I didn’t have time for this week but I’m hoping to have the top finished before next week’s quilty update.

I also made a decision about my SAHRR quilt. For now, I am making more partial log cabin blocks. I started with four but will actually need twelve so I am continuing to work on those.

Now that the floors are finally finished upstairs, we are enjoying our time in the kitchen. Hubby wanted a berry cobbler but couldn’t decide between blueberry or blackberry.

 

Walmart had both “organic” on sale so…

He got both.  I found the recipe here if you are interested.  It was super easy and soooo delicious.

Friday is Floss Friday and I have a tiny update on this week’s cross stitch project.

 

This Friday is also Pi day so I’ll have to find a way to create something in the kitchen to celebrate. Sweet? Savory? We shall see.

 

Enjoy your day, my friends!
