Getting closer.....

So 2 weekends ago I did some additional measuring on the quilt I am making for mom and discovered that with some of the modifications that I had made to the pattern awhile back I didn't have enough of the black fabric with small grey chinese characters. So mom and I made another trek across town hoping that Fabric Depot would still have the fabric we purchased more that 6 months ago. We quickly discovered that they didn't and the hunt was then on for something else. The pattern of the quilt changed again and we ended up with this pretty gold and black fabric. I cut the black and grey chinese character fabric into long strips to border the focal point rectangles on top and bottom of each of the 3 rectangles. The gold and black fabric borders the 3 rectangles on the sides. This past weekend I was able to piece together the entire top of the quilt. I will hopefully get the front and back pieced together next weekend and post more pictures.

I think I just might get this quilt down in time for our late summer!
