Progress is good

The day before  yesterday I finally got back to working on the dog quilt and succeeded in getting all the borders on.  Now to find backing fabric; I had something I thought I'd use but if I did, then I wouldn't be able to make the second baby quilt ( same pattern, same prints) like I've been wanting to.  The top has been folded up and is now hanging on the rack while I try and figure out what to do not only for backing but also for binding because there isn't enough of the teal left to use and I don't want a yellow binding.

Tuesday, while hubby and I were 'running errands', I stopped in to JoAnn's because my friend, Katie, showed me the Christmas prints she had bought and I needed something for the background for the BOTW that I joined at fatcatpatterns.com.  I was very good... only bought what I absolutely needed.. although it was a struggle because I saw so many lovelies.

Here it is.... the background fabric I bought and the first snowman....

Then it was time to get back to working on the bear quilt.....sigh... LOTS of half square triangle blocks need to be made.  I have them stitched, separated and pressed... now, I just need to square them up - which will mean a lot of standing unless I break it down like I tried to do today... 

I'll go back to work on this tomorrow... probably won't get it done, but it will be progress. 

Time to go kick back and relax for a bit.  Last night, I watched Jeff Dunham's new special on Netflix.... funny as usual.  Not sure what I'll watch tonight... maybe another episode of Person of Interest - really like this show.

take care.....
