A librarian's Valentine!
We didn't get much snow from Wednesday's storm (about 3") but now it's very, very cold. I went to Rotary yesterday morning (S stayed in) and didn't go out the rest of the day. More snow coming this weekend. 
I made two placemats out of the leftovers from Lantern, the top-along for February. (See last Friday's post.) They await binding.
Twenty Ohio Stars in this month's RSC color, blue, displayed on the design floor (the living room).

Old Town is a flimsy!
I added a white border to stabilize the edge. 8 yards by weight. I have an April appointment with Barb-the-quilter.
These start with 4" squares and 1.5" x 5" strips and are trimmed to 3.5".
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday
Old Town is a beauty, Nann! I don't even remember what Bonnie's borders looked like, but I love your checkerboards. Hope you warm up - Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the BIG flimsy completion. I really like that final border-it makes the quilt stop :-)
ReplyDeleteI like your Ohio Stars. That is a reminder to me to make some in the dark background/light star. I tend to go light for a background too often.
ReplyDeleteLovely Old Town flimsy. I know is a wonderful accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThe double border on the Old Town quilt is such an intriguing way to surround the blocks. Gives a nice open frame to the blocks.
ReplyDeleteLovely works, can't type much right now...;))) hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing your Old Town mystery top, it's gorgeous! How many more Ohio star blocks are you planning before turning them into a flimsy? They would make a lovely traditional boy's baby quilt.
