Paul’s All Paid UP!!

Peter will not be robbed any more as Paul’s been paid!  I finished the Rob Peter to Pay Paul quilt and am going to turn it into a table cloth for the 5th wheel…it just needs the three Bees- backing, batting and binding! 

I am thrilled with this little number…I still cant believe I made a quilt with curved blocks!!  There is no way that I would have attempted this feat without the help from my Lady GO! GO!  She made it easy and fun!  YES, FUN!

Let’s zoom in for a close-up…no she’s not perfect…but for me SHE’S AS PERFECT AS SHE IS GOING TO GET!!  Besides if she was perfect I would freak if we should slop mustard or spaghetti sauce …this way a few stains will add to her charm!!

image I used a whole Layer Cake of Blackbird’s Garden Party (minus a few of the light beige floral prints) and with the small scraps of leftovers I cut some scrappy narrow (1 1/2”) blocks for an additional border.  image

So hopefully I will get her completely finished and back on the table in time for our trip down south.  OK…OK…maybe I will take her off the table when we eat…at least for the first year!  :o)

Have a wonderful Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  1. It looks great! In your previous post you mentioned trimming you blocks you were not sure which line to square up. That happens to me a lot. How did that work out?

  2. I was wondering if you used a layer cake and you answered my question. Very well done. Paul is appreciative that you got him paid. But what about poor Peter?

  3. That looks beautiful in your new trailer.
    I like the idea of making my own items to personalize the camper. First I need to clean it out next year;)

  7. wonderful job. Looks great in the trailer. Can't wait until you take off on your southern roadtrip, I love all the quilt stuff you find on the way although it does cause me to go to the shops and buy. Stay home! NOT!

    have a great Wednesday!

  8. Absolutely beautiful! Get some clear plastic to lay over it and protect it so you can enjoy it while you eat on it and not worry about the spills.

  9. Great work. Now that is what I call using up all your scraps. It added your own personal touch. I also need a GO machine to help me get my projects ready and my stash used up.
    Have a great day!

  11. Ya, I agree with Lisa Marie. That is too pretty to eat on. the plastic would work great. I rob "Paul" at my house to pay Peter, John, Dick and Harry when I go shop hopping and buy stuff, (ie: too much fabric!).

  19. Love how it came out. And that border frames it perfectly, it looks to be about 1 inch wide?

    I have enjoy following your progress with your GO and dies. This die has moved to the top of my list.

  25. Hi Paulette!
    I'd still cover that little gem with some tablecloth clear plastic, like from Walmart!
    It's much too pretty to let anything else come in touch with it!
    I think it is great! My friend who made one of these, put yoyo's over the corners where the petals meet, added some charm and you couldn't tell.
    Take care, Leslie

  30. It looks perfect to me--very precise piecing:) : )

    Yes I would probably take it off whenever something I was eating made for a bad stain;) Other wise for a sandwich or something light go ahead. I sound like the table cloth police!!
