Well, the top is as big as it's going to get. I've used just about ALL the fabric I purchased for the top and I'll have JUST enough backing to fit it. (5 yards worth; washed & dried, but not pressed or cut yet.) SO---NAME IDEAS?!?!?!?
And I attempted to kill two birds today...I spent about 45 minutes cutting and prepping for Bonnie Hunter's RRCB mystery part 2 this morning and used the units as my leaders-enders today. I have 9 of the 30 completed from the leaders-enders today. I'll keep them as l/e as I start working on In Flight again.
On a family note: Today Cassie turned 10 years old. As her birthday present, yesterday she and I went to Claire's boutique for her to have her ears pierced. 
And finally, Stash Report November 22 - 28

Happy Birthday to Cassie! I remember getting my ears pierced in middle school - it was such a big deal!
I really like the quilt you made for Angie.
Happy Birthday to Cassie - I love cupcakes :)
The top looks great!
It really does put your stash in perspective when you hold yourself accountable. Seeing your numbers, I was like YIKES, that's a lot of fabric and realized, I could have easily purchased 200 yards myself this past year. Keep up the good work!
The borders of your quilt look almost 3 dimensional, how about "Paisley in 3-D Squared". Silly I know.
Happy Belated birthday to Cassie!
Woo hoo for being in the red!!! :-D
The quilt looks great and Happy Birthday to Cassie!!
Happy Birthday Cassie! Ahh the first ear piercing! I remember that so well...didn't need a parent's permission back then...I got my second holes at 13 and that was that...back then we knew when to stop!
I love the quilt but I really stink at name calling! Is it a Disappearing 9 Patch?
Your browns for RRCB are just too darn cute. Angie's quilt turned out great, it kind of resembles bowties to me, I always go for alliteration, so I'd try something like teal ties or paisley parade, but I'm terrible at names. I am NOT telling my girls that you let Cassie get her ears pierced. I'm having that argument with my 7 year old and she is just relentless. Hope you get a little calm time soon.
