After several pleasant interruptions, I got as far as selecting the fabrics for the setting triangles and borders. Not 100% satisfied with the outer border and haven't decided on widths for any of them. I didn't set up any expectations as to how much I wanted to accomplish today and pretty much putzed my way through the afternoon. I'm delighted to have this project moving forward. The colors are off in the photo. The inner border on the top looks the best in real life.

Thank you, Rachel, for setting up this VQD. I enjoyed seeing and hearing about what everyone was working on. Beautiful work everyone! Thanks for sharing!

So much progress by everyone today!! I have loved seeing all the pics!! Please keep sharing as you finish your projects. I am off to bed soon as I have to be up at 5:00 AM to work!

I have set the date for next month for October 14 if you want to set your calendars. Someone remind me to post a reminder thread as we get closer!! I am thinking we might take Nov and Dec off since those are notoriously busy months, but we'll play it by ear!!

I feel like I got quite a bit done today. I didn't sit down and really quilt as much as I would have liked, but at least I got something done!! That's a start.

Cheers!
Rachel

I made some good progress today. Got my top all put together, and one month of my PP blocks is done. Not as much done as I hoped today, but I did take time out to mow the lawn (for the last time this year, I hope). This was great fun, as usual, and I love seeing what everyone accomplished.

Now I'm going to take a break from sewing, and see if I can finish knitting my socks before bedtime tonight.

I have six rows done, seven to go. Once the rest are done sewing the rows together will be easy. I hope to get the top finished tonight. It is a little chilly here in S. Jersey so I think I will shut a few windows and keep on sewing. I enjoyed looking at everyone's progress today. I hope to join in again next month. Thanks ~Jen

Guess I'm done for tonight as well. Took a break for dinner and got involved in a couple of classic movies; now I'm out of the mood. But thank you for helping me get more done than I'd have otherwise!! Looking forward to this again.

Well, I didn't get anything done on my list except for shopping. I've been fighting off a flu bug and shopping wiped me out. Got home, ate lunch, and crashed on the couch. Stupid flu bug!!

I did manage to gripe at my husband enough about my design wall woes that he's going to let me poke holes in the wall, though. (He was sad to see it had all come down too, he's been unusually interested in this particular quilt design.) And I did find the fabric I need to border my one-block-wonder quilt. So not a COMPLETELY wasted day.

I was not very focused today. Which means I didn't accomplish much. Then took a break this afternoon for DGD birthday party. Did nothing after I returned home. But I really enjoyed seeing everyone's projects!! Thank you, Rachel, for organizing today. See you in October!
