Well, I didn't do as much as I wanted to Friday night but I enjoyed myself. I went over to the church and visited with my buddies and I worked on binding a quilt. I finished a little over half of it before I put it up and just walked around to see what everybody else was working on. I enjoy seeing what everybody else is doing to see if I want to do it too! One lady was working on the blocks that the Fabshophop was promoting and they were turning out really cute. They call it the Fab Shop Celebration Sampler and you can find it
here. They have alot of different blocks and hers was turning out really cute. I pulled out my camera to take some pics and discovered that my battery was dead. Sorry about that...Anyway, I charged it up Saturday morning and took some pics of what I worked on yesterday too. Other ladies were crocheting and working on wool. I guess I'm going to break down and do some wool work too. I just love the way it looks and you don't have to needle turn it either....
Here's the quilt I finished binding Saturday morning. This is called Fiddlesticks and I think it is a Bonnie Blue pattern. A friend of mine quilted it for me and I just love the way she quilted it...if you click on the picture you can see the quilting...
I also worked on putting together my Cupcake quilt. My group had an exchange (I showed you pics previously) and then last Saturday we got together and sewed on the quilt top. I put together some 16 patches and decided I didn't like them with the blocks so I then put together some big Nine Patches and cut them apart (Disappearing Nine Patch style). The alternating blocks are the D9P blocks.
I found the cutest cupcake fabric to use as setting triangles and the border fabric. I had some left over DP9 blocks and between that cupcake fabric and those, I might have enough to do the backing too. Here's the flimsy all put together, ready for quilting...

Very cute cupcake quilt! Love the fiddlesticks too. I thought I had that pattern but mine is Allegro. I will bring it next time to show you.
I love your quilts! I plan on making one this summer. I can now get to my sewing machine, and within a week or two I hope to be able to reach my fabric! ; )
Just love both quilts! You do so much! Awesome, as always.
