September recap...........

I did it!  I finished this 33" wallhanging.  I did use the stripe that I showed yesterday as the binding.  It is the first finish since April.  

I didn't even make any quilt tops in September.  I started one.........

The only other finishes were the Dr. Seuss pillowcase and tote bag for my great-grandson shown on this post
Here is a closeup of the binding on the only part of the wallhanging where it contrasts.  It blends into all of the other colors touching the sides.

I worked on the Kaffe Fassett fabric catalog (page on my right sidebar) and got up to #100.  I have 53 to go and now the new fall 2016 fabrics will be shipping on Monday.  I haven't checked to see what the numbers are.

Our last free brush pick up is next Monday so I have been working on the last trimming and cutting volunteer trees for the year.  I'm happy with the amount of garden and yard work I did this summer, way more than I usually do.  I have a little more digging to do next week and then I think I'm done until spring.

It looks great/wonderful/fabulous! I like the binding to blend and hide itself. As long as you enjoyed yourself this month, the number of finishes is moot to me :)

The binding looks great. I don't know how you could get a better one!

Our city continues to pick up yard waste throughout the year. They have leaves to pick up. As far as I know, they never stop, but I would imagine that not many people do yardwork in the snow.

Your quilt just glows. It is beautiful. I've done a lot of yard work this year too. Just a few more changes more and I will be happy.

I am hoping that I am done with yard work until spring also. I think the cool nights and lack of rain may play in my favor for that.

I LOVE it.

We don't get winter garden breaks here.
