I made a top for Bundles of Love.. the colors are a little odd for a baby, but hopefully someone will like the brightness of it.
This top was assembled except for the borders and has been waiting patiently for me to remember it. I finally got borders on today and am hoping to get it quilted relatively soon.
I've been making house blocks just for fun and finally realized I had enough to put into a top. Not sure where this one will be headed, but it's not quilted yet, so I have plenty of time to ponder its ultimate destination.
This quilt is for me! I give away so many quilts that it seems odd just to keep one. I made this originally for another purpose, but it wasn't the right size for that program, anyway. And I liked the colors, it goes with the couch pretty well, and it will be a nice lap quilt for me while watching TV, reading, and knitting in the colder months. Diane S. quilted it beautifully (as always) and today I got the binding and label put on, so it is totally, officially DONE. Another UFO off the list. Hooray!
I feel motivated to continue sewing, to take time for some concentrated reading, to take a walk, to write a couple of letters, to knit and/or to do any number of other things. How does one decide? I want to do them all!! It's better than being bored and depressed, isn't it!? Yes!

Hi Carol - great blog post... I used to have a big piece of the green fabric you used in the first quilt - a great fabric!!! it's gone now, though... beautiful quilts.. Happy Fourth! Kate the Quilting Professor.
Some fun quilts there, Carol! Hoping your sew, sew holiday continues!
You have been busy! I really like them all, but especially the one you kept for yourself. I particularly like the narrow black inner border, which beautifully separates the blocks from the outer border.
