I loved seeing everyone's work. I got a good start on a red and white log cabin. I will post pictures when I get a few more rounds done.

meanmom, 114 pieces in one block! As a relatively new quilter, that totally blows my mind. My hat is off to you and anyone else who does that kind of work.

All sandwiched and ready to quilt. The first stitch is always the hardest. I've already changed my mind on thread colors. The red varigated should do the top, but I had to switch to a yellow for the back. Okay, off to draw a few flowers to imprint what I want on my brain so I don't have to mark the quilt. I still haven't decided on the 9 patches. I may just meander my way to the next flower. Had my nap and dinner, just dogs to walk yet, but we are waiting until it cools off so it's back to the machine.

okay, watched several videos on binding and even though it was on my to do list for today im tired and brain is fried. gonna start the binding first thing in the morning after kids and dh are out of here off to school and work then there will be no distractions to get me frustrated from starting and stopping so i think im gonna change goal #4 to catching up on BOM, im two months behind and then ill see what time it is then. should be able to finish last load of laundry, get kids off to bed, do a little flight of the bumblebee to tidy up for the evening and still get at least one more sewing things done. so off to find the patterns for my BOM.

I got a very late start, not until after noon. Spent the a.m. while it was still cool, changing the bed, hanging laundry, unloading the dishwasher, making pasta salad, etc. That being said, I cut out a lap quilt and have the twelve blocks completed. Super simple Pieced Tree pattern called Fat 1/4 Favorite, using limes and turquoise. It was a no-brainer but just what I needed on a rare hot day in central New York. Will post the pic when it's done. Might just call the lap "Chill Out". Looking forward to our next virtual quilt day!

1 1/2 borders left to go. But dang it's hot here, and this quilt is big. I'm taking a break between every 2 strips at this point, but I still hope to finish this today. Just have to complete the outer blue border, and add a wide cream border to finish it off.[ATTACH=CONFIG]336721[/ATTACH]

What a great idea...the virtual quilting sessions. I got lots done today, but did not really finish any one project. Knowing that I was part of a very supportive group kept me focused and not really distracted by other things. If it does rain next Sunday I will join you, but if it is a nice day I'm going to a dog show to watch one of my puppies.

Thanks for a fun day.

Just have to say that your quilt top is awesome!!

My personal update... I got caught up in running errands and couldn't start my "bag" but I did start a square for the BOM I am doing on this board. I wanted to do something different for the center so I tried fabric folding. I have two books and the pictures in them are gorgeous but the directions are a bit challenging to follow and I have come to the conclusion that I just don't like the process. It wasn't fun. I tried several different ones but it was not enjoyable for me. I did finish the one fabric folded flower that I will use on my BOM.

I love the quilt! Today I drafted my first block for a pictorial quilt. Using the lessons from Quilter's University I was able to add columns and an arch to my design. Tonight I'm working on an appliqué block. Great idea virtual quilting!

Gee, I didn't get a whole lot done like I have wanted. I did make two of these little fabric pots, does that count? I might get a tad bit of sewing in yet tonite. This is a neat thread, great to see what others has accomplished and posted!

Just got back from DD's. The quilt is layered! I may start quilting it tonight, but I'm getting tired (I've been up since 4am) & don't want to mess up. I don't quilt that well, even when I'm not tired. I'll try to post pictures of the top and back tomorrow.

Loved all the pictures.
