Wow how time flies!! I was able to get 3 blocks finished and took a few pictures. Now I am off to write a few more patterns. I had a flurry of ideas yesterday and I want to get them made before I forget the idea. 
Cheers!

Update on VQD
I'm happy to report that I got both of the 2 mini quilts done. I went with the "french" (?) method for binding, also know as pillowcase method I think. So I just have to stitch the little hole closed and put the pop tabs on the back for hangers. It took me long as it appears that I didn't have the backs picked out. The one on the with black in it have two different types of stripes to add match the front. Also leftovers just like the front. I'm not sure what I'm working on just yet but I'm going to take a food break & get back to it. Maybe to do the layout of my boy's quilt. But Chances are I'll go do the handquilting on the baby quilt instead. LOL. I know -- sooooo decisive I am.

I am taking a little break since my grandson just woke up from his nap. I pinned all 13 rows. Soon I will start on the sewing. I don't usually pin much, but I wanted to be sure that everything ended up in it's correct place. I am only using nine fabrics but I don't want to take any chances.

My cat finally decided to take a long nap and I managed to get my strip sets sewn for the Halloween quilt. Now I am off to make homemade pizza with my DD for dinner. I am hoping to subcut the strip sets after dinner...maybe even get some of those blocks made

I have my little block ready for handwork now. [ATTACH=CONFIG]365053[/ATTACH] It's wool appliqué on a cotton backing.
Now I'm going to square up my Aurifil BOM blocks & put their borders on, whew..... good thing I have to get up & come out to the computer for a little break, this is fun!

Well, I didn't quilt but I did get into my sewing room. I altered a flat sheet to make a fitted sheet for our bed. We have one of those super deep matresses and it is almost impossible to find fitted sheets that don't ride up. Plus I saved myself about $40!
