D-Day is just a few weeks away! I made a goal to have all the blocks and sashing quilted by Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is Thursday and I only have 2 1/2 blocks left! I'm going to try and get as many pictures of the quilting as I can, but it's super hard because the backing is hunter green and my stitches are mostly tiny. I've put hundreds of hours just into the quilting. I was laid off this fall, and turned it into extra time to quilt. My fingertips are suffering, but I was able to practice echo quilting for the first time and some blocks are REALLY QUILTED! Not enough room for anything else with all the thread in the blocks.

It's coming along so pretty....I can't wait to show it to all of you! He still hadn't figured it out. I say had because the cat came out of the bag today. I've made it in front of him and quilted it in front of him and he didn't know....it was pretty cool.

I'll post pics soon!
