Progress on my Aloha Mystery Five-0 quilt

Sewing blocks together to make rows.
My design floor in lieu of a design wall.

I guess you could say I’m channeling my inner Lara Langston – the heroine in the animated Aloha mystery video series – by sewing along on my Singer Featherweight, too. I finished the blocks on National Jelly Roll Day (Saturday) and laid them out this afternoon between a therapy dog visit with Sadie and a private sewing lesson with a middle school student.

Bit by bit, the quilt will get done. The directions call for a pieced border that resembles a checkerboard. Since there’s so much color going on in the quilt, I’m going to opt for a simple white 2-1/2″ border to frame the quilt and then bind it with a teal print.

Oh, and yes the post would not be complete without a picture of Sadie from today’s visit at the Georgia Primary Care Association annual conference at the Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead.
