Great job CarrieM. I started my border for Macybabys quilt but still trying to decide if I'm going to make all the sides the same width and/or if the pattern will go on all four sides. I'm adding pink and black for my round.

Carriem - Love my border- it complements the others so very well.. And with a hurting hand you managed those little tiny squares - I am in awe.
And - to make it a happier day - your center has arrived at my home today! Ahead of Bug's but its here - and the colors are absolutely
unlike the photos - really amazing workmanship.

Travelinggramma, I am so glad you like it! The trimming of the little blocks was the hardest part, but by limiting my sewing time I didn't hurt too bad when it was all done. 
I will be getting a cortisone shot in the base of my thumb/wrist next week...Lord willing that will provide some long term relief.
I picked out some fabrics for jaba's quilt this afternoon. Need to make a trip to the LQS for a little more of the light blue I chose and see if something else jumps out at me. I think she is open again after the storm last week...it will probably be next week before I can stop by. In the meantime I'll be trying to decide what to do for my round....

Carrie, thanks for sending along Travelinggramma's quilt. It is going to take some time mulling over what to add. Right now the only thing shouting out to me is that it needs some white. I had ordered some blueberry fabric because of the light to dark tents of colors. But I am so like Iceblossom. Once I actually see it, I may totally go in a different direction.
So glad everyone and the weather seems to be feeling better.
On facebook there is a local meteorologist and he is saying that all the signs are pointing to an early fall. I like cooler weather!

It's been cool here lately, too. I've never seen such low temps in August in Mississippi. It's been lovely. Wish it would last.
Package from Givio arrived today, with Mary's quilt in it. Givio's round will be a really tough act to follow... it's amazing!

Sewbizgirl, I just saw the weather. 2 Storms, one expected to be a hurricane and the other unknown at this time are both headed into the gulf and could potentially land the same day! One hitting Florida and the other in your area.
