Christmas In July Week 2

 

I think I have the biggest Christmas projects done that I wanted to get a head start on, our fabric shops haven't put out much Christmas fabric just yet so Im stil looking for that just right fabric for aprons.but I think I have enough left from the red & white top for pillow covers

I finished up the keyboard boarders & added another white boarder at 3" so we have a 2" white boarder, a 2x4 keyboard boarder & a 3" white outer boarder

It measures out to a 64 x 76 it goes all the way across the bed but I feel it could go with another boarder but happy the way it is "for now" it will be more of a decor part of my ted & white guest room theme for Christmas 

Doing the math ,it comes out 7.5 strips for binding,I cut 8,always leaving room for just in case & mistakes lol I didn't fold it in half as it'll be over in the Fall before I quilt it ,rolled onto a t-paper roll

Then placed over the top of the hanger with the top & moved into the holding room "closet" 😄

Progress On The Red & White

This top has been screaming to be turned into a quilt for I know 10 years if not more so I pulled her out to join in my Christmas In July to myself,I don't join in any Christmas In July  groups or challenges, " I challenge  myself"😄,getting a head start in July is something I've done for years so there's no pressure of how much actually  gets done ,  so far I've gotten a 2" white border on all 4 sides & a 2x4 keyboard style border on the sides, top & bottom to go & possibly another white border

A Day Of Antiquing Part 3 (coming home)

 The boys were happy  for our last adventure "Golden Corral" they couldn't understand why we'd spend the day looking at "old stuff" 😄 we ate way too much & the drive home was absolutely gorgeous! Today I will spend the day finishing up extending the red & white quilt top & working on Christmas in July projects, August will be here before we know it & there's a few quilt shops we plan to visit  for the quilt shop hop
