Still working on my Birdie Stitches Quilt

This is definitely a work in progress!
I finally selected sashing and boarder designs


 Love this book - so inspirational
Used Golden threads to draw my boarder print


 then used the light box to draw the design onto the quilt

 No worries I remembered to use the
Fine Point Mark-B-Gone by Dritz.

For the sashing I selected a rope pattern
and started quilting away...


here is the back ...


But as I'm quilting away I realize somethings wrong...
It's just not coming together very well
Hmmm...
OH MY...
I selected the WRONG batting (wool)!
What was I thinking ...
it was just too puffy and shifting everywhere
So ... I Frog-Stitched it ALL out!!
Yup I had to take it all apart and start over!

The one good thing ....
I decided I didn't like the rope design in the sashing
so it changed to a sashiko flower design!

Now I'm ready to start re-quilting !!
