You've been really busy doing some beautiful work. My favorite is your bear quilt - this is so cute and unique. You'd did the colors and pattern so well. Can't wait to see your Mercantile quilt when finished.

You have had some productive sewing time this summer; well done! I seem to make small bursts at the sewing machine in between long spells of wearing myself out with all the yard and garden work! And then there's fishing up north, card club once a week, etc!

I'm almost finished with the Mercantile BOM quilt, just the final white border to put on and I'm stalling because I hate doing slab-o-borders. A huge family blowup has me all turned around and out of sorts so my quilt ended up with the rows out of order but it is what it is, I'm not tearing it apart now. I hope to get the bear quilt finished next week. I ordered a panto that I hope will look good, it's bear claws from Urban Elementz. Cari

Cari, I love your quilt! Maybe just a narrow slab to finish it, same width as your sashing? Sorry to hear about family concerns. Time will mend the raw edges and you all can darn yourselves back together. (Oh, that's a bad analogy, but it stays!)

Cari, your quilt looks great! Who would ever know if the order of blocks or rows was "out of order?" Your quilt, your layout. Best wishes for smoother going in the family. Every family those not so fun times, it seems.

Wow Cari, you've been so busy! I am a pretty slow quilter, so I'm amazed at all you've done! I spend two days, sewing and un-sewing, so I'm back where I started! What is a slab-o-border?

Lol, a slab-o-border is a boring plain border, as opposed to a pieced border. I hate measuring the quilt, averaging the measurements, finding centers and quarters, blah blah......no matter how careful I am the border ends up being too long. But knowing that, if I trim it at all before I sew it, it ends up too short. Not my favorite way to finish a quilt top. Cari

So expertly done and a very beautiful quilt. Your order of the rows looks fine to me. This must have been a lot of work with all the different blocks and piecing.

Thanks. The only thing really that made it more work was having to cut the pieces for each block individually. It was fun, but I don't know if I'll do another sampler just for that reason. Cari

Congratulations Cari. Wow. Thumbs Up on your beautiful quilt! Love all the great color combinations you selected. What machines do you like to use for piecing your quilts?

Linda I like which ever one I'm using at the time lol. All of these were sewn on my tan Singer 301. I didn't choose the colors for the BOM quilt, it was 4 months of kits. Looking at it as a picture I like it better than standing in front of it. Some of the blocks I really like but some of them, well, the prints that to me clash made my teeth hurt sewing them up lol. I suppose that's why I'll never be a famous quilt designer. Cari
