This beaver is eager, but, having trouble accomplishing what I want to view. I too, think I bit off more than I can chew. But I am determined to get it right....cross your fingers, toes and anything else that will cross.....lol

finally!!
i've rearranged it all and added the sashing.
i have also made a good amount of ivy leaves in 3 sizes that i will applique down the sides and trail a small way along the horizontal sashing too.
i'm really thrilled at how lovely it looks with the coloured sashing!!!
it's really brightened it up!!
great work everyone!!

I "ABSOLUTELY" love how your Autumn quilt is turning out .... and really like your row placements. It is going to be a real piece of quilting art when it is finished.
I haven't been able to get to my "Thirties Toys" quilt yet to work on it .... the Eager Beaver - "View" row seems to have comsumed "a whole lot more time" than I had imagined. I do however have the row of "upper blocks" (I plan on adding) all cut out and I'm anxious to get back to that project.

Jacquie,
Have you had time to do any of the shadow quilting on your Autumn quilt top? In a few months it will be autumn and you will be able to use it. Don't forget to post the picutres of the work in progress.
Ladies,
Has anyone else quilted their top? Don't forget to post pictures.

I was just wondereing where everyone was in the process. Since my friend Janet is teaching me to use her long arm, I have completed some quilts that have been waiting in line patiently to be finished. That hugh UFO stack will be dwindled down to nothing, hopefully. Just finished a wall hanging for Christmas on the long arm, now going to put the binding on it today. If I get it finished, will post a picutre later.
