    Ring the bell and blow the whistle for Mary!
    Congrats on the finish.
    I was just admiring your quilt in the Pictures section of QB. It looks great.
    Will you be framing the mini to go on the wall above the bed quilt?
    A matching framed mini or wall hanging is a wonderful idea for a bedroom that has the larger quilt on the bed.
    I have never thought about doing that. I usually make matching throw pillows or pillowcases.

    Thanks wildyard. I put the binding on a tablerunner last night, now to tack it down. yes, that is five waiting for bindings. The western star quilt I am doing is coming along. Oh to cut those diamonds out. It seems complicated, but I know if I am accurate to cut right, will go together wonderfully. So now off to Joann's for rotary blades to do some accurate cutting. Woke up feeling awful and tired, flu going around in our house and now I think my body is saying my turn. Will keep on going, half way thru March and only half way done. Then was doing my churn dash quilt that I have had the blocks done for awhile, cut all the sashings 1"to short so now have to wait on that one till I have funds to buy more fabric. At least i have sashings for another quilt, not sure which one, but I have sashings. Oh, wonder if it will work for the falling leaves swap and then I can use that fabric for it to cross with the churn dash, ah now there is an idea, thanks for letting me rant here, I just may do that. Will see tonight if there is enough and looks good. Thanks for the help.

    Oh some nice finishes!
    Love how the brown frames the floral blocks, missgigglewings.
    The simple square baby quilts are very striking, Judith1005
    Linda-wonderful contrast on the purple quilt.
    almond, can't wait to see your mini. Did anyone else see the lovely pillow shams to match?
