A finish?

I used my churn dash blocks as an excuse to visit one of my local quilt shop -- as if I need an excuse!  I was a little worried I would find a sashing and border that worked.  Actually, it was just the border print I was worried about.  That is the challenge of using a line of fabric for the blocks.  Sometimes you feel like you need part of that line for the other fabric in the quilt.  In this case, I easily found fabric to match.  I found three that I really liked.  One was too white.  I wanted to buy it to use on the back, but I can't pay full price for backing, no matter how much I like it.  The second was more blue.  That wasn't a problem, I just decided to go pink instead of blue.  The sashing isn't a solid, it just reads like one.

And that is as finished as it is going to get for now.  Sigh. . . I'm trying not to get discouraged about my quilt machine.  Right now I am waiting for another part and praying it will work.

I have one quilt on a deadline that needs custom quilting.  It is at a friend's house right now getting quilted.  It is much harder than I thought to give up control of the quilting.   Can't wait to show you that quilt, but it will be a few months.
