One of the Sun Bonnet Sue quilts is done!!!
Well I finished the top and now I need to get backing and batting and get it to a quilter. I laid the quilt on our bed and it looks pretty good it is a good size quilt it measure 104 long and 101 wide.
The border is on 3 sides of the quilt I left off the top since it really does not seem like it is a border that makes sense for over the pillows.
This weekend we woke up to a surprise of sorts the weather man said cold and wintery weather well that is what we got. This is looking out the window going down the stairs in our house.

Messing with Photo’s
I have been messing with photos today of the class I took on Wed and of the show and tell at the afternoon guild meeting. I was going to the evening meeting with a friend but she decided to go late and told me to go ahead. Well I had gone to the afternoon meeting and had to come home and walk the dog since Fred was busy. He was on call in West Union for 24 hour shift so I needed to come home and was going to ride to the meeting with a girl friend. She texted me to go with out her and so I decided to just skip driving the 45 min back again for the evening.
It just did not seem like a very economical use of gas and I had seen the program in the afternoon. I am sure it would have been fun to see again the speaker Marilyn Foreman was an excellent speaker and had a lot of lovely quilts to show off. With that much of a drive by my self I decided it was smarter to stay home. So Annie (the dog) and I had a nice walk and then I came home and worked on picking up my desk area. It has been a disaster for a while now.
In the post earlier today I used Smile Box a program you move photos into and can view them in a kind of scrap book format. None of the block pictured there are done by me. Lots of variety in the fabric used for those that are participating in our Farmer’s Wife quilt group.
On wed the day after the guild meeting we had a work shop with Marilyn Foreman and I posted a picture earlier of the pattern. Well here are a couple of pictures of my fabric and the teacher and a few of the blocks I got cut out.
I am twisting and turning my 4 patch blocks to see what way they look best and someone grab my camera and took a picture.
Here are some of the other fabric choices cut up into blocks for the quilt.

Saturday
I did get some of the strips cut for the piano key border for the Sun Bonnet Sue Quilt this evening. I have a bunch more to cut though. I am just going to cut up all the fabric into the strips and then if I have more then I need I am sure that something else will surface for them to be used on. They are nice size strips 2 1/2 inches should work for other projects down the road or they will go in a scrap pile for future use.
