Great Granny’s Marmalade

I finished my Great Granny Quilt-a-long quilt top last month…
DSCN2812
but just quilted it yesterday and finished the binding today at bee!!
DSCN2814
I am so glad I decided to use my Marmalade jelly roll for this online quilt-a-long.
DSCN2815
I think it has such a nice vintage feel to the prints that goes so well with the look of the granny blocks!!
DSCN2816
And instead of the white background that is everywhere these days, I used an ecru Kona, which also looks more vintagey, don’t you think?
DSCN2818
And this afternoon, while photographing it out on the deck, Yogi wanted to get into the act, too!!
DSCN2821
He soooo needs to be groomed!!
DSCN2824
I don’t like it when I can’t see his big brown eyes clearly!!
DSCN2825
But he soooo H. A. T. E. S. getting groomed, that I wait as long between appointments!!

I’ve got all the sashing pieced and trimmed for this month’s Schnibble, Dime Store, so will be working on that tomorrow!!  Really REALLY liking this new design from Carrie!!

I hope the backing fabric I ordered online for it, comes in really soon!!
Whatcha working on this week??

My new table runner!!
DSCN2662
Which I did the hand sewing of the binding on during bee yesterday!!  I didn’t put a label on it, as I might want to use it on the reverse side as I love the old garden print I used from my stash!
DSCN2665
Look at this snack table spread at bee yesterday!!
DSCN2645
