Janet enjoy your few days of vacation.
Terrible winds here today but it’s supposed to be much better for the holiday weekend. So sad to see summer coming to an end but love the brisk fall air and all the beautiful colors.

I will take a pic as soon as I finish it. I'm doing it QAYG. (Thank you for perfect instructions!) One row is already joined and all the blocks have been quilted. I'm using my green and black blocks from the last Boom. This is the fifth quilt I've started for him. The first one was a finished top when they saw it. They wanted something different to match his newly painted room, dragons. After finding patterns and making ten blocks, they redid his room- wanted cars this time. I gathered car patterns and started appliquing them. They moved him into the smaller bedroom because he's got a new baby sister and they moved the girls into his room. Change of decor again. Now they're selling the house and moving into a bigger house.
I'm making him a big boy quilt and calling it quits. Poor guy is the only great-grand without his quilt yet. When it's finished, I'm mailing it to him and breathing a huge sigh of relief! After this I will never ask again what someone would like. I'll make them what I want to make for them.

I agree! I’m knee deep into a quilt using a homespun fabric made in a small village somewhere across the globe and boy is this stuff stretchy! Trying to accommodate my son’s desire for authentic indigo hand dyed fabric is kicking my butt.

I just finished my last 2 blocks. Hurray!! I am so glad. I just went back over them and put my label on each baggie. I am not sending them off just yet since there is plenty of time to do that and with the holiday weekend I don't want then held up some where in the mail system. Here are my last to blocks for smglover207 and Libster. Please keep in mind mo photos are not all that accurate or colors but they are right in real life!
Now it is back to the quilt I was working on before these beautiful fabrics found their way into my sewing studio.
