New Swags for Inklingo GMFG/Renegade takes a Swim

After much contemplation and a little advice from my friend, I am removing the red scallop part of the swag and replacing it with a smooth edge. It looks much nicer and makes the workmanship easier and neater. I should have all of the pieces ready to sew this evening. Ripping out is not my favorite thing to do but in the long run, I think I will be happier with the results of the new version.

I took my labrador retriever swimming today at a friend's pool. He dove right in and it took me a while to get him out of the water. You can see his joy! He commandeered a little baby floating toy and swam the entire time with it in his mouth. You would have thought I had given him a T-bone steak. It wore him out so he is now sleeping......actually he is snoring!

Swags

I have been back to work on my Starry GMFG. I added the swags on one of the short ends of the quilt. The other short end swags are prepped and ready to go. I still have to figure out the corner swags and add the flower buds on the tips of the swags. Wow! There is light at the end of this flower garden. There was no pattern for this quilt, so there was a lot of trial and error. The hexagons were at least made easier by Inklingo. I just wish there had been Inklingo for the swags. Usually by the time I get to this point in a quilt, I lose interest. I still love this quilt and can't wait to see it quilted.
