I finished quilting the tool quilt today after deciding to do this design in the borders... not perfect, but close enough........

trimming and binding will have to wait a little bit because my room is cluttered with the new scrap/string bins and I can't get to my freezer top to trim the quilt and I can't get to my sewing machine or ironing board to make the binding.

Before I finished the quilting on the tool quilt, I went back and started sorting out another scrap bin... it seemed to take f o r e v e r... and I ended up tossing quite a bit into a pillowcase.

Here it is... E M P T Y....that leaves me with one more bin to sort through.  There's still the one for the guild's charity quilts but I'm not touching that - it can stay as it is.

This is the remaining bin.... inside my sewing room closet to the right of the door way...

yeah, it's pretty big.   I had all the blues cleaned out of it at one time when I used them up on making a quilt for my son to take in the semi with him when he was driving cross country.  Now that he only drives local, he uses the quilt on his couch.

Here are the blue ( on the left) and the green bins... I guess I should have gotten a better shot... both are pretty full... only the white/neutrals bin comes close to what blue and green bins have.  Once I start diving into that big scrap bin, I may be wishing I had bought a couple of bigger bins for the blues and greens - and maybe browns.  I'm sure there's going to be some rearranging happening.

So, while I'm chatting via messenger with Katie, I hear a PING.. like something hitting one of the rails on Mo'e.  I went out there expecting to see the fabric that I have draped over the rails has been disturbed by one of the cats.  No, it was fine so I kept looking around trying to figure out what the PING was... then I spotted it.. one of the clamps on the frame was hanging down instead of being clamped to the end of the frame.

 Katie has had a couple of things break on her in the past couple of days.... and, apparently, she is now sharing that with me - literally.  The above pic is what I found when I picked up the clamp that was hanging... the pic below is what it SHOULD look like.

 A whole piece broke off!!  and it's not like I can take one of my other clamps that I have and switch the bungee type cord to it.  It's going to take some McGivering to come up with some sort of solution that will work until I can get a new one.  I'll call the dealer on Monday to see about ordering a new one and then I can schedule a time for them to come out and service Mo'e; I'm sure he's due.

Oh!  and the quilt I decided to do instead of the Beach Ball Dresden is called Modern Puzzle and it was designed by Christaquilts.com... I'll share a pic once I get a block done.
