Finally, a weekend that I can join in too... first on the list is to add borders to my Allietare from last year's BH mystery (that's why I didn't feel right about doing en Provence this year). I have a nautical quilt up on the design wall with 80 squares so I will try to get the top finished this weekend and I have a baby quilt sandwiched and pinned that I will quilt on my DSM. The two quilts are UFO's so I will be getting those off my 2017 list early. : )

Got the top of the baby quilt done. Made this quilt a while ago and realized I had enough material left for another top except for the border so I ordered that material. Good thing - saved a lot of time to get this shower gift done.[ATTACH=CONFIG]565623[/ATTACH]

Cam's gran - that's beautiful! I love the pinks. What a lucky little one.

I'm in on the sewing weekend. DH is watching football all weekend so I'll have plenty of time. I'm currently working on a Hunter's Star quilt, piecing HSTs, and have about 25% of them to go. Then join into blocks and finish the quilt top.

I also have a top ready to quilt and hope to finish that as well.

I'm joining in! Yesterday I put my Pat Sloan 2016 Mystery Garden quilt together. Just lack Borders now. Headed today to a Lucy Boston Club meeting at LQS. (Patchwork of the Crosses). We have a fun program, lots of Show and Tell, chocolate, and sit & sew. Will post pics later today. Tomorrow hope to put my 2016 Guild BOW together. Just need to cut out corner stones. Cam's gram, darling quilt❣

I'm in! This is the first year my company has given us MLK off work, so I get a long weekend. If I am diligent, I'm going to be able to finish piecing the top I have been working on since December.

Wow, beautiful quilting, shorttimer! Wish I could do half as well!

Love your pretty baby quilt, Cam's Gram. The top I am piecing is sashed between everything like that, too. It really sets the blocks off.

Nice job on the dry run, Quiltingshortimer! I'm looking forward to seeing the final piece when you get it done.

Cam's gram- very nice baby quilt.

I picked up my PQ1500s from the "spa" this morning and straightened up the mess in my sewing area. Biiiiiig job, so now I'm resting up. Later today I will finish piecing the baby quilt top and get it sandwiched so I can quilt it tomorrow.
Then, if I have time I'll work on doing some dimensional sewing with velvet-- that will be pieces to insert into an art quilt UFO that I really want to get finished.

Great idea for a gray dreary long weekend. My project is a "rabbit" rag quilt. My pattern is a modification of the Simplicity bear/cat/dog classic. My granddaughter thinks my rabbit pattern has too big of a belly, but I want a happy rabbit. My stash needs a few more diverse blue flannel fabrics then I can start cutting and sewing. Lets post photos of our weekend's progress.Wed

I am in. Working on backing/batting for four quilts- two for me and two for charity. Started cutting Bonnie Hunter's 2015 Mystery Quilt- Alletiare- using Studio cutter dies when possible. It has been in a bin by my sewing table long enough and has been calling out to be started. Will post on Monday the progress made on these.

I got my men's charity quilt all pieced. It came out 50"x62"... good sized throw quilt. I am planning to quilt it simply, maybe just vertical squiggly lines, because it's needed before Wednesday. The pattern I used was this one:

Only as you can see, I used my stash of shirt fabrics and navy sashing.
