Done, Done and Done

This is the string quilt that I was working on recently... it's DONE... quilting, binding AND label.  I haven't taken a full pic of it yet because the weather has been wet and I can't lay it out on the ground.

I also finished the black & white cat print with green sashing/borders.  It was great until I got to the outside borders... they refused to lay flat and  bunched up in places.. I finally got tired of fighting them with spray starch, etc and just worked with it.  Hopefully some of the fullness will shrink out when it's been washed.  Quilting done, binding and label on.  I did learn how to add backing fabric on while the quilt is still on the frame...  I don't know why I did it, but I turned the top of the backing too many times and ended up short at the bottom - grabbed a scrap piece of fabric that I'd just taken off the frame that was the remainder of the backing for the previous quilt... it doesn't match the rest of the backing, but at this point, I don't care - I'm really mad at that quilt anyway.  I'll take a pic of this one, too, when the weather permits.

For my third done today, I traced the longest block for the Vintage Tin UFO.  Yes, it was June's UFO, but hubby's PET scan tomorrow is supposed to take about two hours so I need something to do while I'm waiting.

Gave myself another scare while getting the fabric and pattern ready for tracing... I was double checking to make sure that I only have this block and the largish center block left to do.  Checked off the finished blocks as I matched them up to the picture but when I got to the center block - no finished block, no pattern and no pre-cut fabric for that particular block ( something I had done for ALL of the blocks).  I went through the bin again and again... no block, no pattern.  Something told me to go look under my design wall... that it just MIGHT have been left there the last time I was tracing a block.  Sure enough, there they were - both the pattern and the fabric that the pattern needs to be traced on to.  They are back in the bin now and will stay there until I finish the oil can block.

I still have the Bonnie K. Hunter Pineapple Blossom quilt top waiting... I think I'm going to add the rest of the b&w cat print fabric as a narrow border and then maybe look for something for a little wider border and something for the backing.

Oh!  Almost forgot... the new number was drawn for this month's UFO... #1 which is my Daisy Dance

- top is done  ( has been done for YEARS) and I have the batting and the backing... will need to get some white Kona cotton for the binding.  I can't wait to get started on this FINALLY... but it's going to wait til later in the month - I want to be sure that Mo'e and I are on the same wave length when I do start.
p.s.  that pink peeking out from the bottom is NOT part of the quilt on top; I don't remember which one it is... I may have to do some investigating :).

Ok, almost bedtime... eating now so that I can take my evening pills.
