Wow, QM, that baby is so very lucky!!! Lovely work!

I have a finish for May. I started these placemats for summer last year and ran out of fabric for the back of two. So they got put aside and never finished. I dug through my stash last month, found some fabrics that would work, and stitched them up. Then I sewed on the binding last week.

I should have another finish for this month. Just need a little time to finish stitching the binding on that one.

Thank you, QM! I needed that affirmation!

My LA guild meets this weekend, and I will be taking a UFO Lone Star (in Carolina Panthers colors - black,silver, teal and white) for what we call "throw down". That is, it gets spread out for everyone to see and give ideas on the quilting patterns.
I'm going to try to attach a pic of the design that I'm thinking about using for the big, open corners of the Lone Star. I used Lisa Calle's method of "Divide and Design" to come up with this design. Is this too fussy? It will be on black fabric, and I'm thinking of using black silk thread.

Leta, I think that looks great, not too fussy in my book. If you have enough fabric you could do a quilted sample- 1 corner would be enough, then lay it over the quilt to see how it looks to you.

QuilterMomma, thanks for posting photos of the baby gifts. They must have been thrilled with them!

Those are so pretty, Grinch!

Good morning fellow quilters, and a 'happy mother's day,' this weekend.

Grinch (#1052), love those very summery placemats, maybe it was meant to wait for the right follow up.

Leta (#1056), love that plan for that quilting design, if we're taking a vote mine is for that one.

Happy sew day guys and dolls

Progress report for me on my UFO. I've finally gotten my extra blocks done and QAYG quilting has begun. (Pic a few pages back.). I'm pretty slow compared to some but I hope to have them quilted in the next week. Fingers crossed.
