Heya Ladies.. How goes the morning ??? Looks to be a quiet day around here. I will of course be diligently sewing and working on all my projects 
I worked on my BOM yesterday .. used Muv's method for making vines and sunflowers. I was very pleased with the results. Here is a picture to share. Oh and yes the Patriotic quilt is on the frame. Now what do I do???? Hahaha I was just going to tie it together.. however now Im trying to decide if I want to do more than just that. So Quilt and I having a stand off at the moment. I go upstairs and stare at it.. and it just lays there all stretched out waiting ... Oh and don't worry about the bunnies they have found moved off into the back field. Growing Soybeans in the field..wonder if they like soybeans???

ahem ... photo? I see no photo?
I guess those sunflowers and vines are done with invisible threads!!
Now there just can't be a standoff with your patriotism, JenniKy ... though I'm siding with the quilt for hand quilting or machine quilting. With it in the frames you could baste it to hold it as you machine it. The quilt is telling you that it deserves more than being tied, and so do you after all the work you have already done!!!!
Poor bunnies ... they're going to starve!
(probably have moved onto some one else's garden ..... or your flower beds? YIKES!!!!!!!)

Enjoyed reading through some posts while we have internet in this camp. Hope to stop in Laramie at a quilt shop today.
Continue on your safe journey and keep us posted on your fabric finds.
