I was also in the depths of quilting 2 other scrappies when I realized I was going to run out of thread. Tried to get what I needed at JAF but somewhere along the way I got finicky about my thread. So I'm going to stop by the Quilt Shop tomorrow. Lord help me from myself....

I am going to try and jump in later today or maybe tomorrow. Things the last few days have not been good, a couple of migraines, an accident with my coffee and keyboard and then finding a mouse nest in one of my kitchen drawers, both my quilting corner and my kitchen are a mess. I'm plugging away at both, I have the house to myself this weekend so I'm working without interruptions, but it's still slow going because of the migraine recovery. If I can get to it, I'll be marking my Harvesttime table quilt and get it sandwiched, then put my Brother away and pulling out my old girl so I can start getting it quilted. If the weather holds out, I'll snap a picture post marks, I realized when I jumped on here that I never took a photo of it when I finished the top.

I have 16 pinwheel blocks done and look to make more today, then start cutting and sewing the sashing.
Quite sure I will work on the UFO because the pinwheels can be .........annoying and challenging. The mind needs a break now and again.
Looking for progress from others! Chin up and away we go!

Well, I puttered in my sewing room yesterday, picking up stuff and putting some things away. I've been cutting out the Bats & Boos free pattern from Fat Quarter Shop. It was released last Halloween but will be done for this year's holiday! I have a couple bindings to sew on and then the reverse sewing and resewing.

Got the borders cut and sewn together, tomorrow I will get them sewn to the top and I will be happy to call it done. Had to do a few other things today as well or it would have been finished. It seem’s to me that every time I do borders it takes me about 1/2 a day to get it done. I think I will search for a quilt with no borders for the next project!

NYD IS New Years Day. Merry mayhem has a one day mystery every year
I finished my second goal for this VQW. These fabrics were all given to me. There are still PLENTY of red and black pieces. I ran out of fabrics used on the first round so, changed
the color rotation in the next round. My guild had a block of the month challenge and the first was a log cabin block. Second was to make a star block. Two for one here.

Update: Have finished piecing the main body of the Bonnie Hunter "Jamestown Landing" quilt, started on this around Thanksgiving, doing cutting/piecing for a couple hours a day as a warm up to other projects. Still debating about the pieced borders, although I'm reasonably sure I have enough scrap blues to proceed. I've also got an Amish quilt Roman Stripe variation to hand stitch binding to the back: It's black on black which gives my eyes a workout.
