I was downstairs by 7:30, making progress on Maltese star - Mystery 24. I didn't lay out any border treatments, I simply saw a picture in my head and went for it. Here's the current status (pictured sideways); I still want to add a final wider blue border, but I don't have enough of any one blue fabric (that I can find, anyway). There may be a gem or two that I can find in one of the donation boxes, but I didn't feel like digging in to the boxes today. Therefore, I finished up piecing the 20 string blocks of RRCB part #7 and 6 more of the pieced blocks from part #7. I didn't take a picture before heading upstairs for lunch, nor have I been back downstairs since.
DH is down-n-out with some form of bug. Psht! He even is giving us the sympathy-craving-vomit routine. {{ewwww}}. So, rather than heading back downstairs, I've remained up here, cleaning and rearranging the living room.
And now, all of us girls are kicking back, watching Ice Age and having an afternoon snack.
Harry Potter update
Yeah, yeah....I wouldn't say I'm obsessed as some, but it IS quick reading so far. I'm on page 208 and will probably spend the next hour or so with my feet up, reading.

Your quilt top looks great. I am definitely going to start making more red quilts.
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous! Love all the flying geese! Hurry, find a border so I can see.... :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love that border!!! Perfect. Enjoy your movie and relaxing - thats where we are headed next - the couch!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness...you sure accomplished a lot this weekend! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt; I love your border treatment.
ReplyDeleteAs usual you are working on and turning out some lovely quilts. I couldn't pick a favorite, they are all awesome. I was just suggesting to Angela that you and she should have flicker groups either together (the almost twins) or singly. You have had your two quiltalongs and she has her scrappy color of the month going on. It would be nice to be able to see all the pretties in one place. I am back to working on last years blocks of the month and hope to have enough soon for a lap quilt copied from Linda's version. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI have 17 blog posts of yours to read and am working my way backwards...this quilt top is stunning..wowza on the borders. I love it!
