focus and finish...focus and finish...ooh, look, something shiny

Isn't this a cute collection? It's Hoopla by Moda. I just got a charm pack. You can't see it in the shot, but the solid white square is actually a white on white dot that is lovely. That dark blue floral would be so cute on the reverse side of Thing 1's Project-That-Won't-Die duvet cover (see below for an old WIP picture). I'm so ready to get that thing finished. She is dropping regular hints about what terrible shape her quilt is in. I've let the new cover sit around untouched for months and now I just want it out of my craft room and on her bed.

 

 

It's all pieced. I just need to border it with something (thinking a solid light blue cotton) to get the proper width and depth for the top and then I need to sew it to a same-sized backing on three sides with a buttoned opening.

 

I also recently stumbled across seven yards of this blue swiss dot at the thrift store, so I'm thinking maybe using it for some kind of trim on the reverse (possibly Hoopla) side.
