Well--it's done. The top of my Fire Island Hosta has been finished. A few "minor details" like getting it quilted, and then it will really truly be a quilt.
Here she is having a photo session on the grass--we had to weight the corners down with rocks, because it was breezy today! Anne came over to sew--and she was really productive, too, maybe she'll revive
her blog and post a few pictures? It's always fun to have a friend to sew with. She's much more encouraging to sew with than Shyla!
The next series of pictures are in-progress shots. Because I'm still wrangling with the various Blogger programs, I think I'll just caption them instead of writing a whole lot. Besides, the top is done now, so it's not that thrilling to see how it got there. Is it?

| Testing out the layout |
 |
| After sewing all the curves, these sectioins need to be joined |
 |
| Testing the way the corners will line up. Surprise--they match! |
 |
| Curves sewn to curves sewn to curves! |
 |
| I don't usually use this many pins to sew a curve, but I was nervous! |
 |
| Stacking them up as they're sewn in. |
 |
| Laying out all the components, ready to start sewing the-gulp!-curves! |
 |
| Some lefts, some rights, and I don't want to mix them up! |
Well, that's it for now! Of course I have something else in the pipeline--I'm afraid I suffer from ADOS* when it comes to quilts!
*ADOS--Attention Deficit Oooh Shiny!

ADOS...Oh Shiny.
Have I mentioned that it's gorgeous?
I think I spent 5 or 10 minutes playing with Archy. I just love him. I tried to put him to sleep but he'd catch me out.
