Beautiful pictures of all your creativity and production. You guys are so talented. I finished all the blocks for quilt top. Tomorrow is assembling top and figuring out what kind of borders I'm gonna do... I have quite a few strips left from jelly roll so I may do a a couple of mini borders than a piano key... I really like how this is looking... If you notice something out of whack or suggestions on borders, please share. The pattern borders (all solid colors) look nice but I don't have enough of any color to do that and I wanted to use leftover jelly roll. I probably have enough of a couple colors to a mini border...I have plenty of the background fabric on the appliqué to do another border...maybe a 2". I'll play more when it's assembled. I'm sewing this bad boy up tomorrow.

wow!! such great projects you are all working on. I have a nephew getting married this summer and I am making a double wedding ring quilt for the couple. I have made one before, but I must have forgot about how much work this is 
sewing sewing sewing... hours and hours and not much to show yet. I am expecting it all to come together soon 
I put 2 blocks together to be sure that I could

I have been QAYG quilting my 12.5" blocks from the last two Boom swaps. I need to get those made into some quilts before I get the fabric for the next swap... which will be soon. It sure is fun quilting each block by itself, all different ways.

I've never tried QAYG. I'll look forward to seeing yours.

Started putting it up on the wall, realized I had no idea what I was heading for, and tried again. 2 hours later, all the pieces are laid out - one more row of blocks and 2 "border" sides to do. Just need to cut the black and start sewing - tomorrow.

Kirsta - love that pattern, I'd love to do one some day.
I've spent the morning doing more flying geese paper peicing for teh CMIYC. I'm headed out to the LA now to get more FM feathers done. I bought another quilting class on Craftsy, but don't want to watch it until I get this quilt finished. I've got a rhythm going and don't want to get new ideas that might mess me up lol! Going to take my camera out there so I can get some pictures.

Krista, I love your Winding Ways. I am drawn to solids and limited colors for WW quilts and yours is both. The downside? Now you've got me pulling out fabric to make one and I have too many other projects I should be working on. 
In addition, I noticed your blog link, clicked on it and now have one more thing to follow. I love it and will be visiting regularly. I need to get off the computer before my plans for the day are totally disrupted!

I have long admired the "Dogs in Sweaters" pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. Bought it on Friday and completed my first dog yesterday. The sewing is easy....once you do all the cutting. One inch pieces....oh my.
Going to make this into a wall hanging for my sewing room. [ATTACH=CONFIG]587449[/ATTACH]
