I organized and packed my quilt projects for VA today – I’m only going to be there a week so I’m sure I’ve packed more than I’ll get done but I like having options!
First up was choosing binding for the two quilts that got quilted the last couple weeks …
I laid out 3 possibilities for this one but in the end it was an easy choice.
For the Lattice quilt, I just pulled one and it just so happened that I’d added a scrap piece of this fabric from stash to the layer cake so that made it easy.
Both of these bindings are cut and the quilts and bindings are packed up …
Next it was time to prep batting and backings for 3 Little Quilt tops I’d pieced the last time I was in VA. That was the easy part … as I looked at the tops I was thinking I might do a combination of machine and big stitch quilting.
I pulled out my crochet cotton … some from Knit Picks and some from Joann’s to try to match up the right colors.
I was disappointed that I didn’t have a lime green or a turquoise … and then the lightbulb came on … check the perle cotton bin … score! As you see, all three types of threads will potentially be used in quilting these Little Quilts.
And to top it off, I threw in some critters!
