MiraB ... Such wonderful gifts these are from your ♥. And not too long ago, there were your sets for Ronald McD rooms, which I am thinking are thru the same BOL group? How thoughtful for the blankets for the miscarried babes and mothers. Do the pre-surgery kids keep those dolly demo quilts? Or are they kept for repeated demos? Will look forward to your photos when you are re-grouped and re-charged with lots of your precious java!

Jeeze Louise woman!
There are other things in life.........not.
But I spent yesterday running to FedEx in Cambridge to post a customer purchase. HAD to go to the gym, Had to work on my latest creation ( No I won't give you a peak), dealt with a quilt customer, ordered Pizza for dinner, (phew the decisions I make in a day)
So I was up at 5:30 today. sitting on the deck with the noisy birds drinking coffee and working on 2 blocks, yesterdays and todays). Because I KNOW you will ask.......Great to have you hanging over me like the sword of Damocles.
LOL

Wow, Mirab, you made me tired reading your list of accomplishments. You have such a giving heart, truly a blessing to know.
MK, I've been called a "dam" something or other but never the sword of Damocles LOL. Talk about productive--I'm sure you'll reach your finish date in plenty of time.
Finished Asian inspired quilt for my DGD, just need to sew binding to back, wash and then hope to have pics by tonight. Very rainy here so no excuse not to sew. Have a great day, ladies, do something you love!

Yeaaaaaaaaaa JanRN for finishing Asian quilt!
Geeeeeesh MaryK ... take note, I am NOT the only one nagging you!!!!!!!!
JanRN is helping out .... and some of the others too!
Wait a minute ...
........we're NOT nagging
... we're cheering you onwards to YOUR finish line!!!
Love the contrasts of the two blocks .... a bizzy-lizzy type and a nice soft subtle one. Though I think you've missed showing us some!
Yup ... those birds sure were yappy this morning at 5:30 ... thought they were pretty smart after all of yesterday's rain! (though I laid in bed cursing them, instead of out checking the sunrise and stitching like you!!!)
New project is quite impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and to think there are over a dozen types of them too! (one for each province/territory??)
**hint** the project of which she is not providing peaks ..............stalk her blog and you will be amazed! **giggles**

Ta Da!! I did it--all finished. I wanted to use black binding but ran out of fabric. I kind of like the red binding, DGD is 17 so it seems fun.[ATTACH=CONFIG]480353[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]480354[/ATTACH]

Did you keep to the EXACT size she wanted duplicated from her baby quilt? I agree, your red binding is perfect, just kind of an extra sparkle at the edge of the black to frame it all nicely. Such a nice mix with your lantern fabrics. Great quilting design ... just enough, and not overdone to fit the Asian style. Brave lady ... and well done, on centering that patched backing! So proud of you and your completion!! Now when will you give it to her? I can hardly wait to hear how excited and thrilled she is when you do!
