I had leftover pieces from the last curvy block in the quilt along.  I didn't want them to feel left out *wink* so I made a curvy broken dishes block.  

yeah!

I have another Baby Life section ready for the blanket stitching.  Love these colors!

 

I had to have a little dental work on Tuesday so I had a 'free' day....I spent part of it like a slug watching HGTV while the Novocaine wore off.  Then I thought now is as good a time as any to get four more Dresden plates ready.  So I did that.

Yesterday, I blanket stitched all four to their backgrounds and then started cutting more 2.5 squares for the additional sashing sets I'll need.....

I've been blog lurking/surfing and have about 4-5 'new project' ideas, which I'm hoping I'll forget about as I am so trying to not start too many new things.

I shouldn't be starting anything new but sheesh I can only take so much

Modern Misfits is quilted and I even have the binding sewn to the front!
The quilting is very dense and I love it.

and the pieced back.

The label is in there as part of the backing-so nice when I remember to do that.  

Today I finished the green Baby Life quilt I started last week. I even have the binding nearly done!

and here is the pieced back. I like it as much as the front (almost).

now I'm

binding and binding and binding.  

Almost done!

I made new kitchen curtains (toppers) on Monday.  They are from osenburg fabric and I love them.

   

I also quilted my Dresden pillow.

I was going to bind it too-love that look on a pillow but just wanted to get 'er done.

Now that a few days have passed, yes I do want to bind it.  I'm thinking a black binding, that I conveniently already have made.

I also had a not planned sewing session in which I pieced the backing for my Modern Misfits top

 I used leftover strips, chunks, some fat quarters etc.  And in pulling these out I had to re organize the ever-shrinking stash.

win-win.
One of these days soon I hope to empty these of their contents...strips chunks and sew new 'yardage' from them.

oh and another Baby Life quilt in the works, actually 2.  The other one is still just fused letters.  I do love this quilt pattern.  I've changed it a bit by just cutting the background piece in half (after adding a 1/2 inch for the seam!).  This way I only have to deal with half the fabric while machine blanket stitching those letters---that's a lot of fabric manipulation.  I don't think the seam will be distracting after it's been quilted.
I may even adjust the cutting of the next one further now that I have the size of the area where the words are.
I will wait and see how the blanket stitching goes on this one.

A morning trip to a quilt shop with Libby today. whoop-whoop.
