I worked on a few things...........

Last night when I grabbed my camera to record my progress yesterday I was thinking I hadn't done much all day.  I started the day by trying to clean off my sewing cabinet and found a pile of batik scraps so I made a few blocks with them.  I finished them around noon.
 After lunch I got out this project and sewed on the light pieced borders and also cut the next border.










Then I prepared the backing for this quilt and got it loaded on the long arm.  I'm ready to baste the top edges together and then start quilting.



Earlier in the day I sewed 3 rows onto this quilt top and then last night while watching TV I sewed the 2 bottom rows that are pinned in this photo.  I also sewed the bottom 3 rows together so they are ready to add to the top and then I need to decide if it will have a border (or 2).

So, I guess I did accomplish a lot.

After reading your accounting of yesterday's activities and accomplishments, I'm worn out, so think I'll go back to bed for a nap. LOL I sure would like to know what kind of fuel you use to propel yourself through the day. Have a good day Wanda.

I really like your hexagon star quilt. Such yummy colors. I tend to do a little here and there all day. Breaks up the monotony of large tasks!! When I cross things off my list, I do more done, than I thought!! Nice pictures of your projects.

I would say you had a good day catching up with quilty things. The medallion is looking good with the light squared border, have you decided on the next one?

Sometimes we are just so busy doing things we fail to realize how much we DO get done. Looking forward to seeing your M. Derse quilt top quilted.
