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.
