The last few weeks have been a bit of a bummer for me. Nothing horrible, but just enough to make me feel like taking it easy and not doing much sewing. I had dental issues that were supposed to be a piece of cake but turned out to be very traumatic and I am still recovering. I have just been picking away at the quilty projects on my "Do it Now" list. I have been knitting a bit and I am learning to crochet. I have now finished sewing borders on all the block-alongs from last year and I need to get myself prepared for " Machine Quilting Time". That is my next task. I need to get tops quilted. I haven't machine quilted anything for a while.
I got the borders sewed on my "Terry's Houses" quilt top. So, it is ready for the quilting pile. I changed my previous choice for border fabric and went a little darker blue. . It is a simple border option and I will bind it with the black. I am not sure how to quilt it yet, so time will tell.
My next quilty issue is to decide on what borders to use for this quilt top.

second quilt made with square in a square blocks |
I made this a few years ago from leftover blocks from this quilt
|
first quilt made from the square in a square blocks, this one has since been handquilted and gifted to my brother-in-law and wife |
I went overboard with cutting and sewing and ended up making three quilt tops.

third quilt made with square in a square blocks. This one is ready for basting. Will probably hand quilt. |
I cut and sewed 148 square in a square blocks without even thinking about what I was making... I just wanted to use up my red/gold/green scraps. These quilt tops date back to 2008.
