Glad you're all joining me. I quilted two quilts today and got 5 table runners cut out and ready to work on tomorrow. I'm meeting some ladies at a LQS for an Open Sew and want to make sure I don't get bored 
For the Canadians, why is it a long weekend? Enjoy it!

Two great quilts GingerK....very clever 9 patch....and don't you just LOVE the DHG??!! Just watched her DHG2 version video today and can't wait to give it a try.

Got a GREAT fabric --- but now i am having a hard time trying to decide what pattern will best highlight it....OOOOhhh...can i post a picture here and get suggestions???
Thanks again Heather for hostessing the VQW. It always gives me a push to get things going/done.

Please all you clever folks...here's the fabric...
So far, all i've come up with is Attic Window - maybe a large frame in the center using the entire motif -- then smaller frames around that breaking up the different animals.
ANY suggestions for pattern would be very much appreciated.[ATTACH=CONFIG]526546[/ATTACH]

I agree, the fracture pattern would be awesome with this piece. I'm hoping I can join you this weekend -- I don't have to rake hay this weekend but I do have to go to Wally World for my Mom, and probably spray weeds for a while but I really want to put 3 borders on the scrappy quilt I've been working on.

So glad I saw this - I'm joining in, too. Tonight I'm hand sewing the binding on a UFO that is four years old. This top sat for a couple of years waiting to be quilted, and has waited another couple for binding. I'll post a pic when done. Not sure what I will work on after that. I have several projects in progress.

I have some similar wildlife fabric. I'm going to use this pattern: https://creativesewlutions.danemcowe...ct/shenandoah/.
Maybe it would work for you, too.
