Krista, your triangle top is amazing! You are very creative to come up with that concept and I absolutely love your border design!
I have the sleeve sewed onto the back of the shamrock wall hangings (making two of them), just need to add the binding and they're done.

My last post today. I finished BOTH my tops. Thank you so much for the inspiration. This was 12 hours of sewing (almost to the minute) with a break for lunch and dinner. But I never would have achieved so much without the encouragement - I would have bailed early in the day.
Here is my "ugly fabric" quilt. Lots of little tiny (1") triangles cut from the uglies I received in the guild exchange. My intention was for it to look like the triangles were falling from the top, and collecting in the stars. The multi-colour in the lower right was supposed to be 3 of the colours mixing together. Not sure the effect came through, but there is no fabric left to try again, so this is the final quilt.
Now to figure out borders (one thought is shown in the second pic - comments welcome. I would put a wider border of the background fabric outside the pieced border).

Wow. so much accomplished today! Congrats to those of you who met your goals! It's great to see everyone's projects. I know this sounds like nothing, but I quilted a yard's worth of border... and it took all day to do it. But I'm slightly more than halfway done, so maybe next VQD I'll finish it!
The other one just needs the binding and that will be easy to do tomorrow. This has been a lot of fun today!
