But I did get the inspiration to finish my Ginger jar quilt. I decided to not add any borders but leave it as a smaller quilt. Here is a picture of some of the finished quilt.
It was just a top when I started on it again. So this past weekend, I got it layered into the quilt sandwich. This next picture shows the backing. I found this in my stash. I didn't even know I had this piece of fabric. However, it fit so nicely with the background of the front of the quilt that I used it happily. (Yep, a teeny bit of stash-BUSTING) And the binding is a plain caramel colored fabric. -Again from my stash!
Here is a confession for you. I love to watch a movie while I am free motion quilting. While quilting on this one the movie of choice was "Songcatcher" It stars Janet McTeer, Aiden Quinn, and Emmy Rossum. I had seen it several years ago, but when a friend offered it to me, I jumped at the chance to see it again.
As you may guess by the title, it is about music. More specifically, it is about the Scots-Irish music in the Appalachian mountains. As you know I am learning to play the penny whistle. (an instrument directly from that same musical tradition) So you can see how I could love this movie. This movie was mainly a sleeper; most people never even heard of it. It is rich in story and music. I give it a BIG thumbs up.
Oh and if you didn't know I am learning penny whistle, you can see my two videos on my YouTube Channel
