Sewed together the pieces of a basic cloth shopping bag, and pinned up the current column of The Restless Hands Of Sel which is moving verrrrrrry slowly.
Still musing on whether or not to enter the Sydney Quilt Show.

a finish! On WIP Wednesday!
Build Me Up, Buttercup was started, oh, a good 10 years ago!
Its first appearance on the blog back in June 2012. Ten years!
Honestly, a lot of it was spent dithering over whether I should put borders on it or not. It's not a very large quilt, and at the time I was making large quilts.
It finally got quilted and bound for my hockey trivia/quiz night. It went in the silent auction, and a friend ended up having the highest bid on it. Somewhat ironically, I've been thinking I should give her a quilt for some time (we've known each other for twenty-five years, and played hockey for the same clubs for about 2/3rds of that), and so even though the bid she put in didn't even pay for the fabric...I'm okay with that because she had it.
The fabric line is Sanae! Oh my! and came out back around 2011. I bought a layer cake of it and used it in this with Kona Daffodil. However, one of the alternatives was Kona Buttercup, and so it got the name.
I'm glad to have it done and off my plate! And that it's gone to someone I know.
