[ATTACH=CONFIG]591217[/ATTACH]The aforementioned St.Patrick's Day runner quilted. Also got the binding made today. Needs to be squared up before I attach but dinner is calling. Will square up and bind tomorrow.

Great progress everyone. Macybaby- wow, the wonkey houses are daring and the other quilt is amazing also!!
Krista, you have been very productive. All your projects are fantastic.
FabQuilter, those pineapple block are stunning.
Battleaxe & Nesie, very nice projects.
VQ - I love it when the thread runs out at the perfect time. That’s a cool looking tote bag.
Thanks Heather for hosting VQW. I look forward to the next one.

Finally checking in, so many awesome projects finished this weekend, and great pictures.
Don't know if I picked up something yesterday, but I am not firing on all cylinders today. Constantly cold and have that ugh feeling. I Did enjoy the movie yesterday, we saw "I can only image". It was about Bart Millard, song writer and singer and the band Mercy Me's start.
The parade yesterday got a little repetitive. First St. Patric's day and probably the last in St. Paul, may try a small town next year, since it's on Sunday in 2019. Enjoyed the bands but watching people walk, got dull after a while. The audience was just as colorful as the people in the parade, and some times you could not tell who was walking and who was watching.
Did get a little stitching done in the morning and evening yesterday. And today I finished the binding!!!

Calling it finished so 1 UFO for me in March thanks to the VQW, I have the label to attach but still have to figure the wording then into the wash to make sure it's clean. Think I might try and deliver it on Wednesday.
I'm getting better at figuring the continuous binding, I have 14 inches left over. and a piece of binding material that is 5 x 24 inches.

Thanks for the VQW and the eye candy from participants. I made small progress on my Christmas Lights BH Mystery but any progress is forward movement. Looking forward to next month. Happy quilting everyone.

I've been collecting shirts a la Bonnie Hunter for a few years. Some were de-boned. I must have been planning to do the 7 shirts quilt and "tie quilt" with the buttons, cuz I had the bits and buttons all wrapped up in the backs. Very inconvenient, to use a shirt bit I had to unwrap the bundle.
Saturday, I unwrapped all those bundles, baggied the buttons. The bits are all folded individually and stacked in a laundry basket. About 60. I want browns for Smith mountain, but only have one. Several reds, a lavender, couple yellows, three oranges. Bunch of blacks. Mostly blues.
NOW, I can cut! Especially since today I cleared off the cutting table. Also went to work 4 hours and worship this morning, so just a bit of sewing room today.
Not really quilting, but related, eh?

I had the usual things get in the way, shopping, dog walking, exercise, worship, etc, but I did manage to get the fan done for my quick quilt. Of course, I reversed the colors in three blades so that slowed progress down, too. Next is to applique on a background unless I get brave and try to do it like a very large Drunkard's path block. The blades are 40 inches.
