Currently is has a small blue border on which is not pictured.

I am really excited about learning more and making tons and tons of quilts! My DH and I went to dinner tonight for our anniversary (tomorrow) and about half way through dinner he said..."You are just itching to get home and finish that quilt aren't ya?"...Yep I was!

I also wanted to add the quilt I was working on today. It was my first try at a Storm at Sea.

I have lost/misplaced 9 yards of fabric for DD's quilt. More cleaning to be done. I have found UFO's that I forgot that I had and finally found ones that I wanted to finish.

Was so fun to see what everyone was working on. Next time, I'll join you.

Have a great week, ladies.
