I'm off to a much beyond needed day of therapy. I will be heading to a quilt show in Lebanon OH this afternoon. On my way, I need to stop at a fabric store to get backing for a project i've been working on since Christmas. The original plan was to use some fabric that i had for the backing, but the top is much more involved than i thought (and that's ok), but it deserves a backing that is picked out just for the top, not just some stuff I have in my stash.
I guess i get a little OCD about my quilts! LOL!!
the Lebanon show is in a new place, so i am looking forward to going. I also hear that there will be displays of hand-quilted quilts, my personal favorite.
Here's the finished center. I have the border to do, which will also be using log cabin blocks. It's a Judy Martin pattern.

I've never participated in a VQW before, but I will seriously consider it, especially since I have 4 baby quilts that I really, really need to sandwich to get ready for quilting. I've been putting it off for a while, taking on other projects for a Fair in June, but for my piece of mind I need to get them sandwiched and my sandwiching fairy seems to be on a permanent vacation.

Break time, have all the inner border attached, now sewing the three strips together, have 2 of 7 ready for the outer boarder. Have to run to the shop and pick up more, found out that I'm 1/4 yard short.

It sounds like there are a few first time VQWers this weekend, welcome! I finished two more quilts--I'm so happy! Although it looks like it is the same quilt, it's two different ones 
I had 25 blocks I won at a guild meeting so I made two quilts with them. I think they were 20 inch, they're big blocks! Now I'm working on an applique project.
I love seeing what everyone is working on.
