Thursday! Wow, this week is flying by! As I warned you yesterday, here are some more of the poorly photographed Plaid Rose quilt blocks. I hand appliqued these blocks and they have been wadded up in a drawer for years.

I have to search my fabric stash to see what fabrics I have left to do a border or sashing.

I just don't know how to finish this quilt. Should I set the blocks on point or straight?

Should I do a pieced border or plain or both?

Although my hand applique is far from expert, it was a lot of work and I don't want these blocks to just sit in a drawer to be sold at a garage sale by my kids someday. I want to enjoy looking at it as a finished quilt myself!

There is still one batch (I think 4) left to iron. I'm putting those on the blog tomorrow.

I love having a place to put photos of quilts in progress and my thoughts about how they should be finished. A few nice people make lovely comments and gave me feedback and I really appreciate that! But even if no-one did, it's great to have a place to document my thoughts on these projects.

For those who've commented on my camera settings, these photos were taken outside, not in direct sunlight without the flash. I just have a cheap little camera. So thanks for letting me share! It means a lot to me to get your feedback! Have a great Thursday! Cheery wave from Bev
