    Here's the Bugsy Quilt It wasn't an UFO..........believe it or not but I started this one, had to wait for the border fabric and finished it once the fabric arrived.

    Thank you ladies
    Yes Mirabelle, I'm very happy with the border fabric. The quilt is in the washing machine right now, fingers crossed the eyes don't run........I always ask myself how permanent a permanent marker will be!

    Default Drowning in a Storm at Sew with Jane

    It is finished , binding is on. Hahah it should be in a Storm at Sea with Jane

    I spent all day last Thursday at the LQS quilting it on her HQ Avante, had a few problems with the machine and was still there at 5pm when she was closing the shop. She told me to go, and to pick it up when I was on my way home Friday afternoon. She finished the last 3 rows for me.

    Thank you to everyone for all your encouragement along the way and also to my special friend for the fabric she sent me. You know who you are. Without all of you this quilt would never have been finished so from the bottom of my heart I thank you all.

    Mirabelle--You did such a great job getting this quilt completed in a reasonable amount of time! I was going to join and still haven't even made the first DJ block yet...one of these days that will move to the top of the list. The blocks, sashing, borders, quilting...all beautiful.

    Thank you everyone for your kind words, yes Anael I am keeping this one. I can't remember exactly when I started it, maybe QuiltE can remind me, but it has certainly taken some time to complete. I think I will give little blocks a rest for a while now.... A dear friend gave me the Nearly Insane book (you know who you are) but I am not ready to jump into that one (just yet)!!!!!!

    Oh so "someone" is passing the small piecing insanity across big water (s).....I wonder how this all got started?. Oh by the way working on a mini right now...I don't have time for it, but I had to sew something..no time for a BIG project....
