Close only counts......

in horseshoes and hand grenades but, today, it also counts in quilting.  I just finished quilting SD!  By this time tomorrow, it will be trimmed and bound with label attached.  I was going to trim it now, but the freezer top ( my work surface in my sewing room) still has some things on it from my cleaning session last night, so it can wait a little bit - maybe even overnight.  I'll post a pic tomorrow after it's completely done.

Yes, I said right... I was cleaning in my sewing room last night.  All those little bins/tubs with bits of this and strips of that are almost all empty and the fabrics that were in them were cut up into 2" squares, 2 1/2" squares, 2 1/2" x 4 1/2"  and 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" rectangles.  Anything smaller (or I just didn't want to mess with) was put in bag for Colette - anything larger than a fat eighth and that I liked, I put in a pile to save for later use. In the process of doing this, I found my entire ironing board - not just the middle  -- the entire top!  and the table next to my sewing table is almost completely cleared, too.  Wheee!!

I found more blue and more whites to use in the All stars quilt so put them in that bin... put the other colors into their correct bins - which need some more purging/organizing, but that can wait for another day.  I'm just tickled (and surprised) that I got so much done.

Oh, and I got another patch block done for the upcoming Scalloped Potato quilt - that's what the 2" squares I was cutting is for.  I've got so many, though, that there will probably be LOTS left over - maybe for doll quilts.

Almost time for dinner, which, of course, I got to get something out of the freezer for.  Guess we'll be having lasagna tonight.
