Ring the bell and blow the whistle for Mary!
Congrats on the finish.
I was just admiring your quilt in the Pictures section of QB. It looks great.
Will you be framing the mini to go on the wall above the bed quilt?
A matching framed mini or wall hanging is a wonderful idea for a bedroom that has the larger quilt on the bed.
I have never thought about doing that. I usually make matching throw pillows or pillowcases.

Wow, I feel left out, I do not get to ring bell yes, I have to do bindings and they always take me so long to do. Well, better get on them. I at least have two more quilted. Have SIL cut up and ready to sew and the churn dash is waiting for sashes and border. All cut up and no where to go. Great Finishes LADIES!!!!!!

Ringing little bells for QuilterMomma as she works away at her bindings and shows diligence in her efforts to finish UFOs. Way to work at 'em QuilterMomma!!!!! You go girl!!!
Three cheers for everyone working away but not yet finishing something. RAH!!! RAH!!!! RAH!!!!!
No worries, your turn will come and we will ring the bells extra loud for you!

Thanks wildyard. I put the binding on a tablerunner last night, now to tack it down. yes, that is five waiting for bindings. The western star quilt I am doing is coming along. Oh to cut those diamonds out. It seems complicated, but I know if I am accurate to cut right, will go together wonderfully. So now off to Joann's for rotary blades to do some accurate cutting. Woke up feeling awful and tired, flu going around in our house and now I think my body is saying my turn. Will keep on going, half way thru March and only half way done. Then was doing my churn dash quilt that I have had the blocks done for awhile, cut all the sashings 1"to short so now have to wait on that one till I have funds to buy more fabric. At least i have sashings for another quilt, not sure which one, but I have sashings. Oh, wonder if it will work for the falling leaves swap and then I can use that fabric for it to cross with the churn dash, ah now there is an idea, thanks for letting me rant here, I just may do that. Will see tonight if there is enough and looks good. Thanks for the help.

I always say, where there's a will, there's a way!!!

Oh some nice finishes!
Love how the brown frames the floral blocks, missgigglewings.
The simple square baby quilts are very striking, Judith1005
Linda-wonderful contrast on the purple quilt.
almond, can't wait to see your mini. Did anyone else see the lovely pillow shams to match?
