Chop Chop

A couple of days ago, I retrieved this quilt from Porterville, where it's been on display, almost since I finished it.

I was never happy with it.  Well, I was happy with it BEFORE I trimmed it down, but it's been out of proportion ever since.  I couldn't wait to get it back.  For the past two months, I've imagined adding borders, to make it bigger and more balanced.  But when I got it back?  And saw those crooked lines from a bad trim job?  My immediate reaction was, "This thing needs the rotary cutter."

Yesterday I took it all apart, slashed it carefully, and put it back together again.  Ahhh, SO much better!

I have a nice chunk set aside to do something else with.  I'm just waiting for inspiration to strike.

On another note, I shopped while I was in Porterville, at the Calico Mermaid.  I had so many full cards and gift certificates that it was time to start redeeming something.  I think I did well.  :)

And for now, that's it.  Hope you enjoyed the show!
