And the binding is really fantastic (as is that back). We've got the wind this week. Turned over trucks through the valley yesterday! But, wait, a sewing room makeover!? This is great news except for the lack of personal space to sew in for awhile. I'm still awaiting a sewing room...guess I'll have to buy me a new house in order to get one. Good luck and I hope you blog lots of photos of the makeover.Rochelle aka Bella Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493294172036878044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-25581853753058979582019-02-26T15:43:50.957-05:002019-02-26T15:43:50.957-05:00bwahahahaha

Love the crisp feel of this blue quilt. Love that you added the sulky shiny thread. Thanks for showing the quilting. I'm never brave enough to use such a contrasting thread. Looks fabulous and has spurred me on. Have a good rest of your day.

I agree that just about any geometric type quilting just lends itself to modern quilts. My favorite part, or one of them I should say, is how the binding is a matching ombre effect. Brilliant. I just love that raindrop print and the teardrop quilting. Sooner than you can imagine your pup will settle down and be just the most wonderful companion that you ever wished for. The worms are on the mend, and if he doesn't act like a puppy now when would he?! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ RoseanneHome Sewn By Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943739387560629258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-49304837853126538302019-02-26T08:53:10.598-05:002019-02-26T08:53:10.598-05:00WOW!

I used some of that raindop print in a cream colour in my mini, too :) Also, I was amused to see you pointing out that "MacGyver and me" is the proper grammar as hearing people say "and I" when it should be "and me" is one of my pet peeves!<br /><br />How is it time for the 30 designs challenge again already??

I love the design and your raindrop quilting—but I’m especially drawn to the way that you bound it to accentuate the overall design. I’m glad your limited amount of fabric led to such a creative solution. I love following home makeovers as much as quilting, so I can’t wait to see how you redo your sewing space. Hope it won’t be too stressful for you.
