Work In Progress Wednesday - Almost there

Well, I am almost at the final stage of completing the little crazy quilt.

Since last week I have added the following to the border:

1) a wide edge in dark green batik
2) a line of running stitches, laced with greyish-blue chenille thread
3) another round of glittery trim
4) a line of wobbly Basque stitches
5) purple ric-rac fastened with Herringbone stitches


I want to add some beads and then start the edging. Then I will take a look and see if it is time to say, 'Finished'.

What progress have others made? Have a look at Sharon's Pintangle.

      Thanks. Yes, I want some shiny beads on that slightly dull border.

    What a good combination: ric-ric ribbon and herringbone stitches. Must remember that.

      It is not only an attractive combination, it is easy and fast to work as well.

    Rickrack and herringbone is always a great combo. Love the way you embellish the border.
