Wow, what a variety of projects! I'm enjoying seeing what everyone is working on. I have been working on several different things. I completed 14 pieced blocks for a QOV, did the two blocks for this years BOM from Stitchory Dickory Dock (actually block of the week), and did the Dresden block for the row by row from Apron Strings in Maysville KY. After supper, its cleaning up the sewing room!

oh - Love all the pictures! thanks to everyone for sharing. It does help to keep one motivated. I went with DH and did some "guy" stuff for most of the day. Now I can get back to quilting!
Here are some pictures to share.
This is the floppy that I was working on the last VQW - it's now in the pile waiting to be quilted.
And this last week I got on a kick to use up some of my batik scraps. I had bought a few fat quarter packs and a few layer cakes along with a limited amount of yardage for the Affairs of the Heart challenge. I ended up only making 12 appliqued blocks before decided that just wasn't something I'm interested in at this time.
So I had a lot of batiks that needed to be used. I got this floppy done Thursday. It ended up 86 x 95
And since I still had lots of batiks left, I started an a Jewel Box quilt - this one won't end up quite that big though.

Heather, love the 'folded corners' block. It's so 3-dimensional. I plan to use that block in the Boom swaps.
Cathy your work is gorgeous, as usual. I really love the irises in the center of your sampler quilt. It's a masterpiece.
And Judy, your quilt is looking great too. I was wondering what a panada was until the picture told me! PANDA! That's going to be so cute.
I've been trying to get some tops sandwiched for quilting. It's my greatest need, here. I'm putting together a back right now, from some huge scraps I was given. I don't guess you want to see a photo of a cobbled together quilt back!

So far I have finished up my block for the RSC 2017. I then worked on Judy's mystery and got those 24 4-patch's made now I am going back to finish up quilting on my domestic sewing machine Bonnie Hunter's mystery. Big mistake on my part trying to STD oh well it is for my house and just a throw size only made 9 blocks (3 x 3). Have 2 more rows and then the binding of course. So hope to get the quilting done on BH's mystery and start the binding.

Wow, so many nice quilts. I'm getting so many ideas!
I didn't do any sewing today. Today was detailing the car and laundry day. I also trimmed back the hibiscus. I'm hoping to do some quilting tomorrow.
