Especially the potholder block...I will have to see if I can find that pattern in a 8 1/2" block and maybe use it for one of my substitutes.
Today I got binding cut for dd's quilt and my quilt top ironed so I can add the border tomorrow...maybe even get to sandwich and start quilting. It was chilly here today so hard to get motivated. It didn't help that errands in town took longer than expected.

I made good progress today...got the border on and quilting done on a simple lap quilt...just have to do the binding. Also my dd got her binding sewing on today and did paperwork for 4-H to take the quilt to Fair. She hopes to get the binding sewn down early next week. Here is a picture of her and her quilt right after she got the quilting done (I know it isn't finished yet, but thought everyone would appreciate her excitement.)

Wildyard the beaches I am sorry for your loss. The Beach Quilt turned out so nicely.
So many amazing quilts & quilters here.
I did manage to finish this top from a UFO pile.

I was looking for some inspiration for a patriotic challenge but instead came across the kaleidascope I started while waiting to be able to make it home from Ohio and got all inspired to finish that one up. I've got the blocks sewn together and today I cut the sashings. Here is a peek at the proposed layout I'm heading towards.[ATTACH=CONFIG]339312[/ATTACH]

This is the reason to pass on our love of quilting.....to see this enjoyment.

This one is kinda different with the layout.....the center area and the stars outside.
Unusual color combos too........I like it!
Great finish.

This pattern is on my LONG 'want-to-try' list.
Hope your fibro eases soon.
(Edited to say........I always meant to tell you that I love your signature quotation)

Dublb, the squares finish at 2". I used a jelly roll from Kansas Troubles collection.
Ranger, The layout is different because I started the center and put it aside then used the rest of the jelly roll for the stars. Then my engineer son had to help me figure out how to combine them. I think he did a good job. As they say necessity is the mother of invention.
Thanks
