Pop Quilt Top Finished
I thought I could wait and sew on the last border, but it didn't happen. Just got to excited to get the top done. It measures 84X96. Thinking about adding another 5 inch border later on, but for this week it's done.

So I just finished my very first quilt top 
! And I am thrilled to death about it...I cannot wait to get the backing on and get it quilted. This was just so much fun to do. 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!

Today I hope to complete 4 blocks from the pieces I have cut out. You can see that I did the first block yesterday.
Thanks for organizing this quilting day. What a great idea!

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

Just found this thread. I wish, also, that I had found it sooner. But a large portion of the day was spent downstairs in the "sewing" section organizing the fabric. 9 months ago today my Mother (who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's) came to live with us and my sewing room went downstairs in piles. 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.

Took my quilt into the basement. Today I got the binding on and I'm handsewing the binding on, with my 2 doggies. We have had tornado warning since 4 pm.
