Quiltathon Finale

After lots of hassle, triple loading and other mishaps, I finally got the top loaded onto the frame. Here is a picture to prove it - and that will be it for today for me. Go here and check out the progress of other participants.
I need a break and then another run to the gym. It seems like I get a better overall workout week, when I start on Sunday evening - go figure.

Have a nice Sunday evening, whether with or without sewing.
Talk to you next week,
Barb

Quiltathon Day 2

Here is my Bits of Sunshine as completed quilt top, with borders and all. Now it's off to put the backing together and get it on my frame.
Go to Judy's to see what others are doing during the Quiltathon. I should be back later with my stash report.

Quiltathon

It seems there are a lot of "blue" projects going on during this weekend's quiltathon at Judy's Patchwork Times. So my blue-yellow Bits Of Sunshine quilt fits right in.
I managed to sew the blocks together and added the small inner yellow border. Now comes the outer border in blue bricks. The plan is to still get it on my short arm frame and get quilting with a panto started. We will see if that's not too tall of an order.
Anyways, meantime I may be sewing another flannel blanket for Project Linus - to keep my stash report on the "good" side.
This week I received 5 yards in the mail - I had won a gift certificate for an online fabric store, so my stash balance is tilting...
Got to go sewing,
Barb
