Friday Night Sew-in Results

I'm so pleased to say I do have results!

This block went from this...

To this!!!

And see that unquilted border above ?  Well, it now is quilted....

with some leaves and circles.

And I also finished quilting the birdhouse block.

I even quilted my name in the block.  Can you see it in the corner?

I also got my binding ready.  It's sitting on top my new ironing board cover.  I love that new cover my sister gave me for Christmas.  If you need a new cover, you got to get you a sister like mine, who will give you gifts that make you so happy!!

Does anything make you more happy than having the binding on and cutting the batting?  I'm so excited to have the quilting finished that I'm doing the Happy Dance today!!  I'll be doing it all day!!

I love hand sewing on the binding so I'll finish that up while watching TV tonight.

Just for the fun of it here's the back.  I did much better than I thought I would.

I also worked on the Pat Sloan Mystery Quilt.

Here are the fabrics I picked out.  The lightest one has sparkles.


I sewed up the background.  Do you all think I should take out that dark fabric and just use light ones? 



And see how I cut my squares the wrong sizes?  Yeah, I do that at night - cut wrong.  When will I ever learn not to cut late at night?  Well, I think that's enough for now.  I'm off to see what everyone else has done.
