I've been waiting all week to go to my quilt store, it's 45 minutes away, and I wanted to have all my ideas drawn up and measured . I hope they have something close to what I envision. I also am working on a blooming 9 patch, and need fabrics for that. Then I get to play all weekend!

I received Jackie's center block on Wed. Went to the quilt shop on Thurs., and finished her border today!  (And it is not a simple border).  I'm having company next week, and wanted to get it finished up and laid aside before then, so I don't have to worry about it!  For once, I'm way ahead of the game!!   Bev

And it is beautiful, Jackie, I love it!  Hope you love it as much as I do!

well, started on Kristie's border and the idea I had just didn't come out like I thought, so tried a different one and still no good.  Ended up running over to LGS and replacing one color and hope to work on it more tonight.  I want it to be perfect and enhance - this is harder than I thought!

I am almost finished with my block. I hope I can get it in the mail on Monday. I was hoping to have in the mail tomorrow, but that isn't going to happen.

I know what you mean.  I have gotten it figured out and two sides are ready to sew on, bought a FQ yesterday and I've got to go back on my lunch and buy another one today.  Just lacking a couple of inches of this color.  This one has given me some challenges because it's 26 inches square and I'm using a 6 inch block so had to figure out what to do with that extra two inches on each side to make the border come out right.  Finally, figured out what I wanted to do this morning about 6 a.m., woke up at 3:30.  Working 8-5 today and I really want to be home working on this! 

Such is life, gotta do what we gotta do.  Everyone have a great day!!

Huh...well be that way then...lol!

I really can't wait to see what you all come up with for Bobby's quilt!  I'm more excited about that than I was for my snowman quilt!
