Got something else on my frame that I'm using to practice feathers on, so once it's done ... or once I decide I've had ENOUGH of that, I'll work on the scrappy.

dd, I hand quilt mine just because I enjoy doing hand work. Unfortunately I have a pile waiting to get finished now. This cold snap in FL is helping me sit still & quilt.

Just love some of the finished tops, such clever ideas on those last borders. Now I wish I had seen them & I might have done my last border a little different. They are great for ideas for other quilts.
Cataract surgery went well, only 2 days post op. Able to see a bit better, don't have to wear glasses all the time. Next eye on March 3rd. Going to jump on the train for the next ride tomorrow. May be a little slow moving along at first but will get it done. Cold weather, think i'll cook up a large pot of soup to bring along.

Finally got the border on mine--getting the angles on the stars right really busted my chops! I'm sandwiching and glue basting it today--picture when done.
