Watch your sugar count......

......cuz, here comes sweet OVERLOAD !

Here's a photo showing how I solved the problem of not being able to quilt all the way to the edge........I went around 3/4 of an inch from the edge, all the way around the quilt.  Then I straight-line quilted it.  I tried some meandering, but the tension on the other side made the thread just lie there........it looked awful, so I took it out.

I actually looked up an old ruffler that I remembered having,

 that fits my old Singer machine, and used it to make my ruffle. 

 I had some awkward moments with it, but all in all, I was quite satisfied. 

I then cut the corners of the quilt off round,

 by using my pin container's lid and  my rotary cutter.

Next, sewing through only the batting and the top one side,

I applied the ruffle with a quarter-inch seam, splicing the ends of the ruffle

 together as I finished.  I flipped the ruffle to the outside,

 turned under the seam allowance along the outside edge of the quilt,

 and carefully sewed it down by machine.

And, VOILA !

This is why I referred to the "backing" yesterday

in quotation marks.........

because I knew then that

I was actually trying to make

a truly reversible quilt this time !

You likey?

I am just over the top IN-SANE
 about it !

I confess that I meant to be making it for Autumn

Taylor, but am rationalizing keeping it

HERE,

for all the baby girls that pass

through my house.  That's legit, right?

Shame on me !
