Finally got my scrappy binding sewed on my string quilt, and stitched down. Picture over in the UFO challenge thread. Been sewing Christmas strips together for table toppers (candle mats) for gifts. Will post if I get them finished. Everyone is doing so well on their beautiful projects!! Great job!

I'm finally done with the Troll blanket, for as simple as it is (one piece front, flannel back, wide cross hatch, binding) it sure took long enough, first we were having new carpet laid in the room I sew in and it was delayed so I started the blanket then they had a day to do it right in the middle of my progress, then I came down with a bad head cold and was only able to get back to doing anything yesterday, then the binding just refused to lay down flat and neat so after two rip outs I finally glued it down and zigzag stitched it, which looks fine except for a couple wobbles, oh well. It's just a child-sized cuddler to go along with a Troll doll I picked up:

Sweet troll quilt, it certainly will make a great cuddler.
Today I have been working on some healing hearts for a friend who just received some bad news. A group of quilters are making these blocks to shower her with lots of hugs. After I'm done on this computer I'll be doing some slow stitching on my mini quilt.

Here is the finished OMG quilt. I'm pleased with how the borders turned out - I may turn the front to the back for the binding - can't really think of anything else that would work.
And my helpers -
helping to keep the completed UFO's from taking off . . . I need to get pictures so I can post them on the UFO challenge thread. I've been trying hard to get some done before the end of the year.
I'm almost done with the 4 patch blocks for the BH Mystery, and then I want to play with some charm squares and the mini-twister ruler I bought a while ago and having used yet.

Macybaby, I LOVE your OMG quilt!!
As far as the binding goes, how about a solid black binding? It doesn't look like you have any black elsewhere in the quilt and I think that would just make the colors POP even more than they already do!! It's gorgeous!

Here is my last effort for the night. I've got it sewn in rows, and will get the rows together another day. Have to get a good night's sleep for work tomorrow. It's been fun having four days off to sew!

thanks for all the eye-candy! Wasn't able to partipate this weekend as had son and his family here--very hectic! Once they left about noon we both crashed! Even the dogs were worn out from the kids. Then I spent a couple hours working on quilt guild activities, prepping for a beginners class.
