Its Another Design Wall Monday

I may have been distracted this weekend by the second Steig Larsson book “The Girl Who Played with Fire“  and didn’t get much sewing done.  I did however, finish the book.  I like these books (thanks Jennifer) and think the second one is even better than the first one.  I didn’t start the third book right away for fear I wouldn’t get any sewing done at all!

On my design wall is the webbed (ala Bonnie Hunter) Steelers top.  I like the black fabric in the sashing and picked the yellow Steelers fabric for the cornerstones vs the plain yellow which seemed a bit flat.  Now I just need to sew the rows together.  Since the outer border will be black Steelers fabric, it needs the narrow inner border and I have the enough of each of the reds and the brightest blue.  Right now, I’m leaning towards the blue.

I’ve continued working on the hexies :)

    I like it, Cherie. I think a small blue inner border would be perfect.

    (By the way — email me. I have a list of “what to take to retreat” for you!)

    I love the movement in that quilt as well. I got to your site earlier today (I can’t post to yours from work) and I love the stellers quilt. Great job on it.

    I like the webbing technique too. Blue would be perfect as the next border. It seems to POP more than the red. You are about to make a Steelers Fan very happy just in time for Football Season.
