So glad to can post pics now sunrise! Your fabric's look great to me, love them.
Was it ever decided what the next one would be for sure? Have a little time here and there and would like to get started on them if I could. Going to be a big difference with being gone for 3 weeks in January. Have to be in catch up mode.

You two are so funny 
I am usually early, that's why it's driving me nuts, I won't get to sew for 3 weeks...And yes I do sleep, my rear-end says I eat, always have that blasted laundry...cleaning not too much, doctor's orders, vacuum is a big no no, so the cleaning lady comes like clock work every Wednesday. Now you know why I have time to sew.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I just couldn't remember the lights and darks but I do now. Sometimes I need a little poke in the memory department.
Jaba, I don't know how you do it! You amaze me with the amount you get done.
I spent most of yesterday cleaning my downstairs sewing room and storage room. I still have one long table to clean off and then I can start sewing again. I started getting my UFOs together just to see what I have to finish for next year. Next year is going to be a "no buy" year unless I just have to get something to go in a swap.
By the way, JoAnn's is having a fantastic sale next week and I'm not going into "no buy mode" until next year.Hmmmmm

This little pig came home
The piggies are done. I really like the final version. I'm sure it would be adorable quilted too but since I don't do my own quilting this worked fine it makes for a puffy cuddly quilt. Quilt addict I really liked the shopping bag idea but since I really wanted her coming into the group that wouldn't work but it did inspire the name. . . All it needs is a label. Now I can focus on this swap at least until another shiny object attracts my attention. Hahaha

(OK, ulterior motive on the colors. It would put a large dent in the red white quilt that's in my head right now.).

Billi, Love, love, love the piggy quilt. BUT, for just a second or two, I thought some of the pigs were, um, boy pigs due to the ties! I definitely did a double (triple) take on them!

All florals are fine - lighter & darker - - - fine. It will make for a wonderful mixture. Everyone is doing a great job. Yeah!!!
Re: Bento Box - originally, I was thinking scrappy reds/pinks/whites for Valentines even though the blocks wouldn't be due til the end of February. What does everyone think?
