Stars: Finishing Cary Grant
Labels:
stars for the new millennium,
Tony Minieri
Last night I finished the Cary Grant block, after struggling with the final corners for three days. It looks great, though. I just have to stitch the sashing line below the block and I can put this away for a bit. I am not going to do the right side border until all the blocks are done. It is just too confusing to stitch the border down to the point the current stitching ends, then pick it up later. Better to wait until everything else is done, then I can finish the borders without touching them to reach inside to stitch a star block.
The color is off in the photo above but I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was too bright early this morning when I took it? Regardless, Cary Grant is the block on the second row, right end.
I'll be talking about my new project which I've already started tomorrow.

Thanks for the picture of what all is done....great to see how it all ties together and on that note, I will shut the duck up! LOL
Wow! You really got through that pretty quickly. I'm anxious to get back to Stars now that I've finally finished Florentine Fancywork, which I'm mailing out today.
Good for you, Sara Leigh. I know you were really struggling to meet the deadline on FF. But now that you have it done, you can have a little fun.
Pat, you crack me up.
I just don't know where that smart alec comes from!
loud snickering is heard coming from Chilly Hollow
By the way, the canvas that Pat and I are laughing over is this barely safe for work one by Renaissance Designs.
