Okay, I've finished the majority of sewing for the quilt top. (Forgive the poor lighting, but I was pretty happy with how it turned out and wanted to show it off.) I only have to add a border, quilt it and then bind it. But I'll leave that little bit for when my swap partner receives the quilt. Something should be surprise, shouldn't it?
It's amazing what squaring up a quilt block, or in this case braid, can do. The striped fabric is a Liberty lawn from a couple of years ago. I'm finally breaking into it from my fabric stash. Oh and there's been talk of Kaffe Fassett's shot cotton over at Be*mused and other sites lately. The little "solid" green is one that I had in a fat quarter bundle. It's very nice although it's weight is more akin to that of the Liberty lawn. They sewed up well together. I may have to keep an eye out for other colors of it. But it's definitely something that's best left for quilting or other projects where it'll have more support.
