pretty quilts! I especially like the string quilt Watson. I did get to the LQS ( and picked up bird seed since it seems like all the birds in our county have found our feeders) and got what I needed. So I got the two smaller table toppers quilted and the two table toppers from panels are on the frame right now--should be finished about noon tomorrow and I'll post a picture. Then to do all machine faux flange bindings and put into the mailbox! That will leave just my BIL's wall hanging to stitch down the facing and attach a sleeve, and finish the fusible on the last quilt and quilt it. I think I'm going to make it! Told DIL that boys quilts would be after Christmas.

julia: Prayers still being sent.

So I'm trying to decide if this is the silliest reason ever to make a quilt....I have batting that is just too small for my normal finish quilt sizes (it's 45 x 60...ish and I tend to work in the 60" and above genre) it's offcut leftover. But I have a bunch of 12" scrap blocks. I could take 9 of those - end up with 36" square - throw a 2" border around the whole thing and root around the stash for backing. Prob end up w a nice little donation for Project Linus.

Thoughts? Am I insane?

My quilt top with the first border....and the second border started.

I think it's a lovely way to use up what you have, and do some good in the world!

This is *so* gorgeous!

I just started a jacqueline dejonge qult called Imagine. I was alone this year as my relatives all have jobs that put them at risk,first year in decades that I haven't had at least 20 people here..... so I cut and pieced all day...it wasn't that bad..talked to everone by phone. Stay away this year,we'll all be alive to celebrate for years to come...it WILL get better !

Well, so far zero progress on the quilting front - too busy doing SAHM/Christmas/birthday things. But today is the day....

Happy Quilting Everyone! (I'm going to actually go and do some now, rather than pottering about...)

Watson, definitely a show stopper. I don't normally care about string quilts because they seem too busy but your design is perfect. Beautiful version of string quilting. Congratulations.!!!

Not by my standards of insanity.

I made most of the blocks yesterday for my quilt to be gifted. It took longer to fussy cut and straighten the fabric!
Hope to get the quilt put together when I get back from working at the church today.
