Tapper, I really like the green sashing, it really makes the block I think. The white is nice too-- I think the green just feels warmer to me.

Sewnoma-- can't wait to see your finished quilt, I love the blue and brown.

SewExtremeSeams-- those mugrugs are great!

QuiltingHaven, Love what you've done there! Esp the striped border.

So, here's what I've been up to today:



This is the Halloween quilt. I'm having a really hard time with it. It's WAY too busy for my taste-- how was this lost on me when I decided to use all of these fabrics together?!? I had planned on more quilting for the chevrons but have since decided to just SITD. Which I'm terrible at. And it's not making me love this quilt more! The thing is, my son helped me lay out the blocks. Otherwise I would just pull it off the frame and move on. I just love the feeling I had when he surprised me by wanting to help. So I'll finish it and hopefully that's what I'll remember about this one. :-P I have another whole top that I made with the remainder of the fabrics that didn't find a place in this one. Definitely waiting til next year to quilt that one.

Here's the D9P. I have so many other projects to finish before Christmas, I really have no business working on this but I needed something I could enjoy for a few minutes.



Heading out now to run errands. Not sure if I'll make it back to the sewing room this evening.
