Quilted Jonquil

The Hope quilt is back on my design wall.  I’m thinking on what I want to put between the words and the date.  I’m not happy with what’s up there.  I want to introduce some green but the green squares seem too dark or maybe the background fabric is too light???  I’m thinking of using the fabric on the left for a 2″ border and I love the flower fabric on the right for a wider outer border.

Yesterday I posted my stash report and mentioned a gift certificate I received.  Well, here’s something else I bought with it.

A whole gallon of Best Press, yippee!  I resisted trying this stuff when everyone was raving about on their blogs because it’s a bit pricey, IMO.  Well, once I bought a bottle, I was hooked and as Louise at The Quilted Fox says, “it’s only a dinner out.”  Speaking of The Quilted Fox, I finished both the First Sat block and the alternate block for next month!

And lastly, here’s the AAQI priority quilt all appliqued and basted for hand quilting!  Notice the new flower that just demanded to be added on the right.  And I had already sewn the “planter” down…..don’t you just love it when a quilt insists on something you’ve already decided against?
