Design Wall Monday

What a week!

On Tuesday, Judy suggested a new quilt in celebration of National Quilting Day.  I did well until the pieced border, then stalled due to the pinning, etc., that my Bear Cub Q wouldn't allow.  I don't have an updated picture, but check here for my blocks.


Since I was on borders, I pulled out Favorite Things and decided it was high time it became a finished top.  After 4+ hours of sewing on Sunday (after Mass and lunch), here it is, awaiting pressing, quilting decisions, a backing... you get the idea.
DH says it's crazy, and I think that's a good thing.  DH was so gracious as to watch the kids outside so I could zoom along the border.  They are straight, but there wasn't enough room on the floor to lay it out, and I still need to press it! (pattern: Peaches 'n' Dreams by Judy Laquidara)

Check out the other stash reports on Judy's blog!

Blue and white scrappy quilts-what more could you want. All my favorite elements. It is a winner.

It looks great in blues! It's still one of my favorite "Judy" patterns.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
