A binding weekend!

First off thank you to everyone who commments on my blog and thank you for the well wishes of a health concern in our house. We still don't have all the test results, that comes next week. Yup the waiting game can be nerve wrecking.  If you don't hear from me you probably are a no reply blogger, but know that I read and appreciate every comment.
I am so happy to say I have caught up on my bindings over the weekend! A friend asked me last Friday if I had ever tried any of the fabrics from Connecting Threads and that is what prompted me to get this one out of the closet and onto the frame.  I scored it a few years ago for only $38 on their clearance page-lap size. I added the 2 borders and binding from my stash fabrics.

 A close up of the free motion design from a Patsy Thompson video on the interior of the quilt and a piano key in the border.  And  here it is in our living room. I will be keeping this one :-)   Our quilt guild is having a 2014 UFO challenge where we are to list our UFO's that we would like to complete this year and if we complete them and show them at our December meeting we get 1 chance to win a $100 prize for each completion we show. This is actually #2 for me as I already finished this rectangle quilt last month.  I have to decided very soon how many to enter into the challenge!

Chevrons for Neonatal donation.  I love the look of chevrons and love to work with bright colors for the precious little babies that will receive the quilts and be wrapped in quilty hugs.  Notice the quilt underneath-that is what happens when you don't pay closer attention to orientation of the blocks-but I will think of it as a happy accident :-)  

 

See the linky parties on my left side bar that I join in on.  And if you haven't been to them-you just have to go check out the fantastic projects everyone is working on!
