I started off the morning discovering my "design wall" came down last night, taking my "one block wonder" quilt-in-progress down with it. Now I'm missing blocks and VERY frustrated! (pics of that one from yesterday are over in the pictures forum, but now it's a big mess, argh!)

So aside from getting over that, I plan to shop for coordinating fabrics for that same quilt's borders; I also want to work on the borders for my DH's purple & black bargello (the body of which is done), and start cutting out blocks for my nephew's quilt (which will be skulls, flames, and dragons).

But first, breakfast is calling and the cats are whining for THEIR breakfast. I suppose I'll feed them, even though I'm pretty sure one of them tried to climb my design wall and caused my first-thing-in-the-morning temper tantrum!

Top done as far as I can take it..Picture not so good..widh my phone took better picks!! Now what to do??? quilt on scrappy or look for table runner pattern?? Think I will be looking![ATTACH=CONFIG]364913[/ATTACH]

I had this same thing happen to me!! Not funny for you, but funny that the exact same thing happened!! Hopefully you can do better than me though, my wall never went back up and my one block wonder quilt is still a jumbled mess in a large ziploc baggie somewhere. And that happened over a year ago!! :)

I have several bindings to do today and I hope I can get them all finished. I have to take a break this afternoon for the Broncos game, so I need to get to work!

Virtual Quilt Day
 

Howdy from a newbie!!! This is my 1st VQD here on QB. But my goals are simple for today as I stayed up well past 3 this morning. I was hand stitching the second crow down last night and was determined to finish that before I would concede to going to bed. I used a two stranded of black floss & blanket stitched around it. I gave it a quick pressing this am but still thinks it needs something to anchor it down. This will be a pillow for my son to go with a quilt that I'm making him for Christmas. These are also my 1st set of pictures here. For the most part they are going to be sneak peeks as I plan to use these as part of my blog hop enteries for next month. I'm in two different ones and these are the 1st ones I'm doing as a Participate.

This one below is a hint of one I making for my small quilts group and will most likely be my give away on for my Oct. 4th Blog Hop day. Oh crud lopped a corner.... oh well it will add to it's charm ... :p. This one needs the 3 B's done to it.

This one also uses a monthly pattern from my small quilt group and again destined to be a give away for my Oct. 25th Blog Hop day. It came out a bit bigger than what was said, but oh well. ;). This one was made all small Bits & Scraps let over from the other scraps that I used on the quilt blocks below. This also just needs the 3B's done to it.

This shows the 3 types of blocks that was made for this pattern. There are 49 of these littles buggers and today's goal is to get them into pretty rows. This is the quilt for my son for Christmas.

So to clear it up the goals are as follows:

Layout & Row sew the 49 blocks for son's quilt.
Sew Rows into Top. Maybe think about border.
Sandwich the 2 Mini tops.
Figure out anchor on Crow pillow.
If time border & sandwich Son's quilt .... place in frame for hand tieing.
Continue to work on Friends' baby quilt, hand quilt another 6" of waves in the border.

Well it seems really lofty, but I have nothing else to do anyways.

Got one quadrant unstitched....what a -itch!! hard to reverse sew on some of those 'slimy' fabrics. :hunf:

Now time for some lunch....maybe that's another reason I'm feeling cross!
What are you having? Mine will be a roast beef sandwich and some creamy 'mato soup.

Share your mid-day eats! It's the thing quilters do next best to quilting <grin>!:D

Well at least I'm not the only one!! My husband doesn't want me putting holes in the wall to make the design wall more permanent but I think that's just too darn bad. I need to anchor it better than just with yards of blue tape! Holes are easy to fill & patch, anyway.

This quilt is destined to be a Christmas present so I HAVE to "get over it" and get back to work on it, hopefully today. I couldn't even scream and stomp around when I found it though, my DH was still sleeping! LOL

I'm less frustrated now. Going to go do a little "shopping therapy" and pick it back up later this afternoon when I can look at it without wanting to bang my head against the wall!

Loving all of your projects. Took a short break and now back at it. See ya later.

I managed to get lots of row put together this morning. Had to head out for an appointment, and now I'm taking a break for lunch. PokerDiva - I guess it is basically like a One Block Wonder. But no need to match designs on the fabric :) It came out of a book "Modern Patchwork"

Just remembered that my fabric for my PP project is soaking. I'd better run and get that out of the water and into the dryer.

Finally checking in...got distracted with making breakfast for DD, baking an apple cake with caramel glaze and talking to my mom in Germany :) I did get back on track and finished DD's fleece blanket. Now some lunch and I am on to starting the Halloween quilt!
