I am sewing the binding on the folk art quilt. I usually do a double French binding with mitered corners which means going around twice. With that in mind, I have finished the front side and have attached about 12 inches to the backside. This project started because I was leafing through some older quilting books and saw all of those heraldic angels. Some of the angels are blowing trumpets and some are singing in a choir. The original name of this design was The BOM quilt as the designers were planning it as a bom project. BOM is not a good name for a quilt even if it's a good name for how the quilt was intended to be made.
Given that objection, my current name for the quilt is Choirs of Angels but that is probably because it is nearly Christmas. My version is not in Christmas colors nor was the original, but both have a variety of Christmas themed elements. What I hope anyone who reads this blog sees is that any quilt can be made your own by changing the colors. I know from personal experience that newer quilters, and some who are more experienced, still have trouble choosing fabric and colors. Learning that there is no right or wrong about how fabrics blend together is an important step for anyone.
With any luck at all the last week will have put an end to Trump even if it hasn't put an end to the destructive power of Trumpism. Hooray and farewell. All of y'all yahoos should consider a contemplative retreat to ponder the error of your ways. You are not right, you have never been right, and you have created generations of mistrust. Apologize.
