Wentworth County Quiltworks

It's been a productive day!  I cut the sashing and cornerstones for the Summer Sampler quilt and sewed it on; tomorrow I'll finish up the quilt top with cutting and sewing my borders.  I also want to piece my quilt back.  Once that's all done, it's off to the LQS....

I didn't originally plan on sashing these blocks; I was going to alternate each pieced block with a filler block of coordinating fabric.  But when I laid it out the filler blocks were just too dominant, so I quartered and trimmed each filler block into sashing.  I am so happy with the way it turned out!

On a different note, I was in a thrift store today.  I like to see what they have in the line of pre-loved quilts and afghans, if anything.  It's not too often I'll actually find a quilt in there, but I walked out of there today with an eight-dollar orange and white tied Rail Fence quilt.  It reminds me of a Creamsicle!  I love the bright, cheery colours.
