Oh my goodness, everyone has posted such great photos, thank you! I "need" to get off this computer and into the sewing room! I have the pieces fused now on my owl row but will wait until I get some stitching done on it before I snap a picture.

Definitely will be quilting. A couple weeks ago our guild made 2 charity quilt tops...only 6 people showed up for the sewing out of maybe 40-50 in the group. I said I'd quilt them if others would sandwich them. Well, no one wanted to do that either. So now I have the tops, have to sandwich and quilt by next Thursday. Thankfully soneone else will bind them.

Oh--got sidetracked! I definitely will be quilting and doing quilting related stuff this weekend--spent about 5 hours today doing what I hoped was the final day of quilting on my daughter's wedding quilt (they celebrate 2nd anniversary in Sept!) but have about 1-2hours left--will post a pic tomorrow. Also blocked a wall hanging that goes to a wedding next week (yikes!) and set up for a quilt presentation for Vets tomorrow, which will take most of my afternoon. Then on Sunday my daughter comes out to collect her two machines which I worked on for her. We'll also get her Guild block done for President's quilt and I may have time to sew up some quilted stuffed animals, too. Photos later!

McGargantuette - that is one bold quilt! Love the colors!
I've had two bargellos strips cut for almost a year. They are both from the 70's fabric I got from my sister. Figured I'd better get to work on them before I used up the extra fabric I have in other projects, just in case I messed up figuring what I needed when I cut the strips. Being 40 year old fabric, I don't think I'd find more LOL!!
I started on the red last weekend, and today got the rows all sewn. I did need to cut more strips from several of the fabrics, and had extra of others, but I think that's because I changed the pattern a bit after I cut the strips!
I'm going to set it aside now and move to the brown. I am staying with the original pattern for this one. Got my strip sewing and cutting layout ready to go.
