Never Say Never

Between playdates for the young master, regular weekend chores and running out of basting spray, I was certain that I would not get Beautiful Boy basted this weekend. Thanks to the Coven, not only did I get some awesome new basting spray that is so tacky my feet stuck to the fabric, but I also purchased some fabric for a new throw for my living room. Just realized I forgot to take a photo of the fabric though. Maybe next time. Also got a pair of nifty gloves to help with machine quilting. They have rubber fingertips to help with gripping fabric. So much better than the actual red rubber fingertips I used to use.

Beautiful Boy
Not only did I get him basted, I also laid down most of the "in the ditch" quilting. I need to reload with white thread to ditch around the small border, but may switch out the foot instead to do some free motion quilting with the thread I already have loaded. Not bad considering I didn't start sewing until 4 PM yesterday afternoon.


The BHP Update
Since I managed to clear my floor of my basting project, I was able to lay out the blocks for the BHP. As of right now, I am not fond of the pink blocks. Despite the fact that the fabric was part of the original medley, it seems to be fighting with the other blocks. I am trying to decide if this is due to my inherent dislike of the color pink or if it is truly fighting. Opinions are welcome, but may be ignored. In the current view, the top right corner is actually supposed to be the top left corner, but the picture keeps rotating when I import it. I have grown weary of trying to fix it.
