Liberated Wedding Ring Quilt

Greetings!  Astrid here.  I finished some of my multitasking projects.  Mainly, I completed my liberated wedding ring quilt.  Those traditional wedding ring quilts look too difficult for me.  This one was, actually, quite simple.  I did not think so, at first, but once I got going it just took off and next thing I knew, I had all by blocks done!

Then I had to dig out some pale fabric for the sashing and borders.  Once I got it all quilted on my handi-dandy home sewing machine, I just had to fiddle around with picking the binding fabric.  I made the binding and got it completed last night.  I even sewed a label on the back.  Whenever you make a quilt, put a label on the back, so it shows that you did it and when (maybe even where or why).

2026 Kuna Days Parade

We went out for the Kuna Days Parade again.  We like to hang out, sometimes, with the Peacemakers of Idaho quilt group of Kuna.  We all wore red, white, and blue, or something near that, and decked the float up with quilts of the same.

Fortunately, the smoke has settled down a little, so it was not so hard to breathe today.  We were number 27, (out of 90 entries in the parade) so we finished earlier than normal and got to head home.  We are planning a luncheon out with some of our favorite quilters, since we were all hot and sweaty, we decided to do lunch at a later date.
