    Wow that was a longer delay than I anticipated. I took a tumble on some ice and even tho I luckily didn't do any new damage, it sure set off my fibro and the muscles are sore. I am fighting off headaches too. My massage therapist said she thinks I got a bit of whiplash from the fall so that explains the headaches.
    Anyway, today I did a little sewing again, and this is what I got done.
    I'd like your opinions on the windmills, and on the bamboo border with them. It is actually green, tho it looks brownish in the photos.

    Working on panels for the top and bottom ends today. I think I will surround them with red. Or maybe pink then red. Hmmm... will try both to see what I prefer. Then the border and the top will be finished. Yayyyyyy..

    Hi Linda! I was wondering how you were doing, and am so sorry to hear you had a fall! Thank heavens you didn't break anything; soreness is bad enough! I hope you recover quickly.

    The quilt is looking great! I love the red fabric. What a great find from your sister. This is like a little panda party - very cute with all of the different panda fabrics. You're quite creative and I know the young lady will love it! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

    Hugs {gentle ones for the sore muscles :-) }

    I have the top all pieced together but my camera is acting up and I can't get the photo to download. I'm debating about adding a border or whether just the binding will do it. Was hoping to get some opinions here. Maybe DH can help when he gets home later. Hugs and smiles.

    I have started another quilt, a throw for a dear friend of many years who recently was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The docs think they got it all with the surgery and haven't recommended further treatment except follow up testing in a few months.
    I don't know the name of the pattern but I downloaded a photo of it and it's fun and pretty easy. I'll do photos later in a different thread. Hugs and smiles, Linda

    Finally got camera back in working order... well, lol actually it was operator error.. here is finished top except for outside border. I'm debating what I want to use, other than a bamboo fabric for the last 3 or 4" border. Am thinking a narrow one inside that of the black check to tie it all together.
    Any suggestions?

    complete top except for borders

    I think this quilt is busy and fun! HOwever imho I'd use a solid color for the borders to give your eye a resting place. Great work!

    Here is my panda quilt I did out of some of those cute pandas. I had no pattern it took me 2.5 years from start to finish. It was my first quilt that I did onmy long arm too. I LOVE PANDAS!!!!

    I would do a solid black to frame it.
