I wanted to finish up several projects.  Easily 20 years ago, I took a class on the &#8220;Smoothing Iron&#8221; Quilt.  I  chose fabric in tan, red and navy blue for the sample that I wanted to make.  I got about half of the blocks pieced and set the project aside.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m from the &#8220;Waste not, want not&#8221; era and it bugs me to have unfinished projects hanging over my head, so I decided to work on the &#8220;Smoothing Iron&#8221; quilt again.  I changed the dimensions in mid-stream, which necessitated adding  blocks to the sides of the existing rows.  I still have to add borders.  I hope that Elegante Mother&#8217;s sewing bee will accept this top for the church bazaar.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve had four flower blocks on which EM and I have collaborated, pinned to the quilt wall.  I finally decided that they needed to be sashed and bordered.  Now that I have the top done, I think I need to trim the outer border.  I feels as though it&#8217;s overwhelming the center.<br \/>\nAnd, I thought I had finished all but the last row of the halloween quilt, until I realized that I&#8217;d put the last piece of border on upside down. (sigh)  That&#8217;s an easy problem to fix, and then I get to go to the fabric shop to look for fabric for the final border!  YEA!!<br \/>\nI realized that I&#8217;d been working on some very unusual colors in one weekend!  I took a picture yesterday so you could see what I mean:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Three%20Quilts%203-2.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.redeaglespirit.com\/arrrgh\/Three%20Quilts%203-2.JPG\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent a good part of last weekend working on quilt tops.
