The borders are on my mini mountains quilt. It's cute and I'm anxious to get it quilted. Hoping I get my Bernina back this week. And I'll join in for Feb. 2. I should have some new goodies from Road to play with.

Made a decisiion on the back I got carried away with. Yep. It's another top. Dug out lg pieces of fabric and found one with enough fabric to be a back. Now I have permission to go for it for an art quilt.
Yes! VQW on Supper Bowl.

I made it to quilting group today! (They meet during the day and I went back to work, but I was able to make it since it was a holiday!) handed over my quilt tops to be sandwiched and long armed by other group members. I was able to select squares for more child/crib/lap size quilts as our local Project Linus asked us to make them smaller. I have 9 ready for assembly and took home a handful of additional squares (10x10) to make more when I am done.
I'm still learning, and this is all I've done so far. I haven't even made quilts for myself yet. I hope to progress with my skills in the next year.

Ok, looks like we'll have a Super Bowl Virtual Quilt Date.
rryder, I will try to get my UFO picture posted to the UFO Challenge thread later this week. There are eight of us who quilt at a local shop once a month and we decided to do this to get a few things done that have just been sitting around. All of us have completed our January goals so we're off to a great start.
I finished the three blocks so am caught up on BOMs. I pulled the fabric for one of the projects but didn't get fabric selected for the other one. But all in all, I feel like it was a very productive weekend here. I hope all of you had a good time and managed to get lots done.
See everyone back on the 2nd

I had a productive long weekend, I sewed more strips for my circa 1880 quilt blocks and joined a few of them together. I now have 50 blocks finished, with 650+ more to go. I really like these tiny blocks. They go together fast and they're so cute!

It's 5:00pm here. Just got the second back done, binding cut and all rolled together. My last goal was quilting the quilt on the frame. I can get ~ 3 hrs on it. Probably finish tomorrow. It's been the best finish so far.

One of the (many) projects I have going on right now is the Omigosh quilt which has lots of tiny blocks like circa 1880. Aren't they fun and satifying to make? I love working on it! Just have other projects with more urgent deadlines.
