.........And stop......I've gotten 3 rows sewn together and no applique....boohoo...Now I've gotta get onto my customer quilt and putting on the binding. 80 x80 machine to the front and hand to the back. That will take a few hours...sooooo...you all will see later in the month what I've done with my Christmas quilt.

That Christmas quilt is looking so festive. I just know it will be a stunner when it is done. What are you going to applique on it?
And, for those who, like me, did not know, the pre-virtual quilt thread has also been going today and there are more lovely projects to view over there (including another cute Christmas quilt!) http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...t194366-5.html
Seems a lot of people missed the link telling them to come over here... Next time (there will be a next time, right?!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?!!!) maybe we can start the real thread a little earlier? I think that would work well, not just for people in different time zones like me. (In fact, I will be in a different time zone for the next one- moving again!)

got the 4 patches sewn, going to start pressing, but still need another 120 4 patches, so I guess I will be pairing up more 2" squares. I may do some hand sewing on my cousins cat quilt also or instead.

Maybe we could just stay with the initial post instead of starting a new one on the actual VQD? That way we could read everything everyone has said from the beginning instead of switching between the two threads. You can subscribe to the original thread, have emails sent to you when a post is added, click on that link, and you will be taken to your next unread post...no scrolling through posts you've already read.

Managed to get my blocks made & laid out for my Warm Wishes Baby quilt, but had to give my poor neglected flower garden a clean up as I've been away for 6 weeks and today was nice & cool. Then just when I was going to start stitching DD & her little pug arrived..... But here is what I have accomplished today.[ATTACH=CONFIG]349297[/ATTACH] and a close up of the fabric, it's a Robert Kaufman called "Over the Rainbow" [ATTACH=CONFIG]349298[/ATTACH]

Here is what I'm doing instead of what I am supposed to be doing! The border of the quilt is my goal today. The purpose of the quilt is to use up scraps and it is working. Only one fabric repeated so far.
I put a quick tutorial in my album so any one can go there to see how incredible easy this is to do. The album is in 2 parts cause I couldn't get it to load all of them in one album!? Also the pics loaded in reverse order so work backwards! Like I usually do anyway.
This is much more impressive than I thought it would be so to use up more of my tons of scraps I am going to start making some more in tone on tones, I think this pattern would look cool in all scraps of all one color. All reds, all blues, all yellows, all greens, etc.
enjoy! Please show off your VQD accomplishments.
We should have a special place for this thread.
peace to all[ATTACH=CONFIG]349154[/ATTACH]
The pattern was free from McCalls Quilting in 2008. It came as a free gift after getting the magazine.

MY wonderful daughters pinned the quilt for me, so I am on to the hand quilting!! I am going to outline the parts of the flowers and echo the sashings etc..It's amazing to me that a 9 year old told me how she wanted this made as well as picked out all the fabrics when I took her shopping the other day. i am attaching a picture, but unfortunately I took it on the phone and it doesn' show how colorful it actually is.[ATTACH=CONFIG]349308[/ATTACH]

Hi everyone! Great job on all of your projects. I got my dh's gifts all bound and he decided we should clean carpets today. Why? I have no idea. He even insisted on doing my studio. So these are all I got done today plus a clean house. LOL!
