Remember the not-a-Kira quilt? I finally pieced a backing for that! I have it all basted and ready to be quilted. Now I just need some time. And to decide how I'm going to quilt it. I keep changing my mind on that! One of my friends suggested the name "Kaleidoscope" and I really like that! I think I'm running with it!
And the Hunter's Star? That massive quilt is now in the hands of a professional long-armer. I'm SUPER excited! More details to come on that!
The only other project I've tackled lately is a toy box for my girls!
I used Soft and Stable to help the box hold its shape. I heard in another video that using Wonder Clips can help "train" the foam to go the way you want it to go, so after I hit the top seam with an iron, I Wonder Clipped the top before doing the top-stitching. It worked out very well!
It was tricky sewing a cube (the "Y" seams at the bottom corners), but I followed a tutorial by Debby Shore. I found her directions to be clear and easy to follow. I've just "discovered" her videos and am really enjoying them!
Both Cam and Maggie are enjoying their new toy box!
Thanks for reading!

It looks like a perfect toy box and the girls seem to approve.
