Pieced My Backing For My Zelda Quilt

I was looking for some backing fabric and I stumbled across a stash of flannels from a garage sale where I bought 3 boxes of fabric. I had to use three different colors, but i got my backing made and I feel tired and dizzy at the moment, but possibly later tonight I will pin the quilt. I do hope to pick out a dinding and at least have that cut and pieced together. One can only hope!

I Think I’m Sick… But I’m Still Working

My throat has been killing me! It is like a sharp pain every time I swallow. I’m not digging it! Also, I cannot stop blowing my nose! Ugh! However, I’m still working on this quilt top! I will finish it by tomorrow… I hope. I might take a massive nap and then finish it later tonight. who knows! I need a Diet coke!

Sorry for the poor lighting, but my place has no ceiling lights, so it makes taking pictures at night a little difficult to do. I’m making myself a Zelda Quilt! I haven’t made one for myself and I wanted one. It is my Christmas present to myself! I’m doing the turquoise for the bird and triforce. I think it’s going to turn out pretty darn awesome!

Hurried Up And Finished This Today!

I sent it off to a longarmer I know, but she recently sent it back to me because she has had some health problems and just couldn’t do it. So I got it back, and I was going to send it to another longarmer, but after paying for shipping once I just decided to stipple it myself. So here it is. I’m giving it to the person receiving it tomorrow! I’m so happy to have finished it!
