I was pretty sure I could sew up all the cotton batting scraps in a day, and I did! I pieced two twin/full battings, and two large throws. My SIL wants a table runner for a 10 foot table, and I pieced two battings for that, plus I pieced all the shorter strips with table runners in mind, since I use two layers of cotton batting in every table runner.
Lest you think I haven't done any quilting, I have two finishes to show you!
The quilt I was basting a couple weeks ago is finished. I used a cream colored thread to quilt it, and I realized I had another quilt where cream would work nicely, so rather than binding this quilt immediately, I put it aside, and quilted this one.
When both quilts were quilted, then I sewed the binding on both in a day! My two finishes for June were finished on the same day!
The quilt in autumn colors at the top of this post, DD#1 wants me to put aside for her country store. She'll take all the table runners I care to make too, for the store as well. Her store isn't open yet, right now they are doing farmers markets instead, but the goal is to rehab an old store on their property, and make it into a store once again. I'm glad they aren't ready to open it yet, because it gives me time to just make things for the store now and then, in between other projects. When they are ready, I'll bring her whatever I have made, and we'll work out the details.
