We had company so I hand sewed the binding to several quilts! Nice work ladies!

So, I'm (slowly) working on that, lol.

The charms:

The cuts:

The chain stitching:

So now, I'm taking an ironing break...hopefully will get them all ironed open before bedtime.

I love them all, too! Plus, they're sure further along than my project from the 4th which is laying across my ironing board... argh! When am I going to get to sew again?!?!

I hate it when I get a certain type of fabric in my head, then can't find it! :-(

Oh, I hate that, too... I'll have something in mind & then can't find it anywhere... grrrrr! But, like you said, there's always consolation fabric (LOVE that term!)!

My Dresden plate...

I used Marilyn Doheny's 25"- 9 degree circle wedge ruler. I found it at my LQS. I do know that there is also an extension piece available for it also. The office this will hang in has a grey and white color scheme, so I thought the pop of lime green would 'echo' visually.

The 4th of July was my Father in Laws 90th birthday. We had a wonderful day with the family. I quilted him a wall hanging with fish swimming in both directions. He loved it!
