I'm playing around with making crib bumpers for my niece. I also pieced the backing for her baby quilt. I may
cut some more pieces for an anvil quilt I am working on for me. It's cold here today compared to last weekend and we have a chance of winter weather starting tonight. I'm praying for a weekend at home to quilt!

MacyBaby, can't begin to tell you how fabulous your work and pics and organization are. I shall worship you from afar.
Lots of ideas there.
This VQW I am working on my block swap, a fabric PC, and installing flannel on one wall of my workroom for a design wall. Pretty much have thrown in the towel as far as cooking etc. goes.

Update - I did manage to get my block completed this AM as well as picking up fabric to finish this UFO! Major progress for me for a change! Debating if I want to pre-washing this yardage as none of the fabrics in the blocks were pre-washed. I probably won't just to be consistent within the top.

romanojg, glad you're joining us and getting back into quilting!
I'm home from the retreat, I left a day early to spend some time with husband. I've only been back from two weeks in Florida for a week. The trip to visit my parents was already planned when I decided I would do the retreat this time. I had so much fun and am thrilled with how much I accomplished. I'll work on some other stuff tomorrow afternoon after church.

Love what you accomplished, Raggiemom!
Macybaby, you are a star, what great organization and piecing skills!
I have the table topper put together, just have to add an edge binding, it won't be quilted as it's more of a fitted 'tablecloth' for a 20" square side table:

such pretty projects!!! I love scrappy stuff and I'm always drawn to them. Some day, I will really get one finished. Heaven knows that I have enough scraps....
But, in the meantime, I used up one of my 1+ yd pieces of a green fabric and some cream color left over from previous project.
I got it done - and added a cream color 1.5 inch border around the green & white. Added the floral border and didn't like the cream border...So off to the quilt store - 30 min away...I already knew I wouldn't find a green to go w/ it (been there, done that)
I found an orange polka dot that i liked a lot.

this was the final look, i didn't like it

close up of the polka dot...

now the quilt w/ the polka do border...I know it looks more orange, and this is one of the few times that real life looks better.

I finished putting on the borders for my niece's quilt and I finished up the last 3 blocks for my Allietare today. There's a NCAA basketball game later tonight so I have some hand applique to work on during the game. Here's my niece's top.
