Moving right along....

Yes, I am moving right along.  I have been working on getting all my BoMs and the like, sewn into quilt tops and ready for quilting.  Fighting the urge to start something new but then some UFOs are so old they are almost new again. haha  

Today I am working on setting the 12 x 12 1\2" house blocks that I sewed during Terry of Terry's Treasures BlockAlong last year.  They were such fun to make.  I  used scraps to make the blocks.  I am auditioning borders and sashing.  The blue I am trying for the border, the one  you see in the photo, is a very old Jinny Beyer.  I am keeping things simple with this one.  I think this will end up being a wallhanging for my sewing room. 

I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network.  Stop by and check out all the wonderful projects.

    Good for you to be able to continue on with finishing up projects and not be tempted with starting something new.

    Getting UFOs done is good. Resisting the new projects is really hard.

    I know the temptation, wanting to start another project but staying strong on the one at hand. I am doing that too! :)..I like the blue border and love your houses! I keep saving pictures of house quilts that I see...so want to make one!

    Very inspiring, especially as I too have ufos so old as to be new again. And your houses are very cute.
