Grann, the colors are so beautiful in your quilt. The black really sets it off!

Well, I'm breaking for lunch. I got a lot done this morning. I think I'll be able to finish the quilt top by tomorrow...fingers crossed.

Peace and Love,

Well I was sidetracked by a shopping trip with a friend this afternoon. I have cut out 60 3 1/2 " squares and 20 4 1/2" squares and worked out how many pieces I need to cut in total, also starched and ironed fabric. I am making these quilts as memory quilts so the fabric is well used and needs to be well starched. So not done as much as I had hoped but have at least made a start. I will get up early tomorrow and cut out the remaining 290 pieces. It's almost 10pm here so I think I will head for bed.

Love the Union Flag. That's on my to do list to make into a cushion.

I am SOOOOO for this...and already behind..... have to get several things done because i have the DGDs over on Monday (off school) and won't be able to sew.....I keep saying it on different posts ...mostly i think cuz i'm kinda nervous....but having hand surgery on Weds so MUST MUST get these few things done - cuz it will be a while before i can do anything constructive.
LOVE the purple hexies !!!!! Have to go back and start from the beginning to see what else is in the works here.

Thimblebug, the binding tool star is last week's Jenny Doan tute. I wanted to make it rectangular, since I don't know any square people. LOL This was the only way I could come up with, without making it labor intensive. I am in the process of adding a 3" border of black to make it bigger. I found a bolt of batik in my stash for the backing. That will be tomorrow's project.

Taught beginner quilt class this morning--now my knee is so sore that I'm icing. But tomorrow I plan to finish the piecing of a quilt in progress, get another on the long arm and start quilting it Monday--assuming my new knee plays nice (it will be 9 weeks since replacement on Monday).

I hope it's not too late to join in. I'm just starting to work on a JRR2 quilt that has been on hold since Thanksgiving when I had to rearrange my sewing room for guests and more guests at Christmas. I'm having to piece the batting together and then to get on with the pin basting etc. I don't work on Mon so maybe I can get this one finished during the VQW. Fingers crossed here

I will also be working on my EPP project this evening and a little on DS's quilt that is really more of a chore because he wants it "fixed" where he somehow put holes in a few blocks and I'm replacing them by hand (think appliqué here). This one is not so fun but I promised I would so I trudge along with it.

OK...time to quit for today. I just made a big mistake many times over and tomorrow I'll have to rip things out...grrrr. But, besides that, the quilting day went well and I got a lot done. Have fun this evening ladies and thanks for the comradery.
