Ferrero Rocher time again?

Yep!  I finished another quilt... well, almost.  It's a charity/donation quilt that someone else made the top for and I did the quilting and added label and binding.  The binding is on, but I couldn't press it to the front because the marks that I made with quilt markers weren't coming out as quickly and easily as I thought they should - and I didn't dare use heat on them because I was afraid it might set the marks in permanently.  So, I sprayed heavily with water again before leaving for the guild meeting and checked when I came home a couple of hours later - they're gone - so now I can go press the binding and bring it to the front of the quilt and stitch it down.

This isn't all I did today, but it's pretty much it.  I also trimmed the bovine blocks and stitched borders around two of them - just to see if I'd like it - and I do ( apparently not enough to take pics, though lol).  That's all I would let myself do on them today because I really wanted to get to working on this 1600 race quilt ... such pretty batiks and the backing is a much deeper red...

I was reminded at guild tonight that I have a sunbonnet sue quilt top that I said I'd quilt and apparently, I said that I thought that the muslin that I have stored here would work for the backing.  Well, we'll see about that - I brought home some blue with tiny white pin dots that might work even better.  I'm not sure there's enough, but we'll see.  First, I have to find where I put that quilt top.  

Oh, and I was given four blocks - very nice blocks - by a member that didn't want them let alone make more.  I'm sure we can find a use for them - maybe they can go on the back of a quilt; we'll see.  If nothing else, we can make them into pot holders and donate them to the church's bazaar in Nov.

Well, that's it for tonight... I'm heading back into my sewing room to finish that binding.
