OK- So I got up late, went out for a long lunch, and here I am, reading the Board. Todays plan (what's left of it) is to put the binding on a table topper that has been staring at me for about three months. Have fun, everyone!

Jelly roll strips are dry, pressed, and hanging (very carefully) over my bedroom door. I'm thinking I could finish that top in two nights this week. Yah!!
Still have to do a schoolhouse block for September. Saw the fabric wasn't prewashed/shrunk, don't want to do a special load today. I finished the football pillowcase, so that project all packed away for now. The jelly roll and D9P projects don't need to be finished until next August (2013).
I will be finished with college at the end of July, moving into an apartment where I'll have a sewing room, and have already bought a Ken Lund quilt frame, can't wait to set it up. Will be too busy with finals to join you all next month, see you in August, tho!

I'm too sexy for my hair??
Got the letters re-traced and cut.
Anyone want to guess what it is going to say?? I've got them scrambled in the pic below.
A few hints are necessary.
There is a punctuation mark missing from this picture ... it is an apostrophe.
There is no L in the saying.
The uppercase I looks like a lower case l.
Remember ... this is a quilt for a Chemo patient.
Any guesses?

What is a fussy cut??
Yea! I met my goal. All of the pieces are cut out even the fussy cut outer borders. I have also marked the 200 squares that will be used to make flying geese. Now, I am going to relax as I work on hand sewing my applique squares for another project. Tomorrow, I can start sewing on my quilt. It will be so much easier with everything ready for sewing.

Quilt top almost done..spent a lot of time with the frog today..Maybe because I really wanted to be working on something else....Have to cut a few more strips for sashing, and now it looks like I will be about 3 inches short to cut the first border!!! This is my 5th and final Gator quilt for a grandson...looking forward to working on the girls quilts...butterflies, hearts etc and pretties~~ If I can't get all the border cut, I will proably work on my purses for a while, and then prep more squares for my cathedral window....
I have a feeling my problem stems from the fact that I really dont like the quilt I am doing..My grandson designed what he wanted, and ha 2 versions fo gator fabric sashed with footballs..I added a 1 inch border around the gator fabrics, even tho he didn't ask for this, because putting it next to each other was way too busy.. Off to cut and may be get this one top done..Hope the fabric holds~!

Time for a break. Multiple machine jams, picked stitches 3 times, new needle, rethreaded times 3...now it's working right. Almost finished with SID around the black faces, tails and legs on the sheep. The two singles are ready to become totes or pillows or to be bound for mini wallhangings.
Very cute!!Got the letters re-traced and cut.

It is when you cut the fabric to show a particular portion of it without regard to saving fabric, so if you have a fabric with all kinds of desserts on it, you might cut just a donut out which could be in the middle of the fabric.
