This week I spent a good deal of time working on my Souther Charm quilt top. After fininally finishing Sweet Tweet block 8 I needed a break from appliqué for a few days and Sun Bonnet Sue as well. Something easy and somewhat mindless.
Southern Charm is finished. This top was a lot of fun to work on as I had lots of half yard pieces in the bundle I purchased to work with and lots of pieced blocks that I could use to make it interesting. Block 9 of Sweet Tweets is finally here. I do have one more month which is a pieced border. I do not plan to do that border. I think a simple border is just fine. Who knows I could change my mind, but as of now that is my plan.
This is the border fabric I selected and the binding. I don't think I have any blocks in 1 through 8 that have any lavender or purple fabric in them, so block 9's bird might need a bit of that color. So I may need to do a bit of shopping for some lavender or purplish fabric or even a good climb through my stash.
