Think I'm in if I can keep my attention span going for the weekend.. I got this idea to make all the nieces, and nephews throws for Chanukah.. Thank G-d it's in the end of Dec.. Three are complete. One other top done. One other 1/2 done, and one that hasn't been started.. Then if I am really ambitious I will make two more for my sister in laws niece, and nephew who I have watched grow up.. I'm making them as string quilts, and scrap quilts.. I have all the supplies, so no need to shop for anything.. Ughhh.. Maybe need more thread.. Can I do it? Yup!!!

Just realized I posted in Oct. Virtual Quilt Week-end yesterday.
So this is a repost.
I am working on the quilt "Afternoon Delight" by Sue Garman. Here is a block I finished yesterday. It looks a little wonky because I have not pressed or trimmed to size. It is set on point in the quilt.

Today I am sewing double nine patches. Will post when finished.

Quilt Addict, your quilt is beautiful The recipient should be glad to receive your quilt. Love your color choices.
Canny Quilter, your quilt is so soft looking. I am looking for a blue to use in a quilt for my Mom. The powder blue you used looks like it would be perfect.

I will be working on finishing up items for a craft fair I'm going to next weekend. Hopefully I can make some great "mad money", some of which will go towards fabric, of course; although I'm slowly weeding through my stash and it's gone down a little (maybe an inch or two) LOL.

Linda, thanks am really pleased with how this turned out. the blue fabric was from a pair of pyjamas, the white was a lightweight dressing gown and the piano border was shirts. I lost a brother and a sister in recent years and I kept their cotton clothing to make quilts for my remaining siblings there were 11 of us. I have finished two, have another two tops made and two half finished. Want to try to get them all done by end of the month.
