As you can see, I have the entire 12 blocks and "lattice" on with the first border. I will be putting the second and third borders on and then the batting, binding, and backing.
Then, all that's left to do is "stitch in the ditch" and hand stitch the binding....presto, the quilt will be done. I already have the material for Matt's quilt and am eagerly waiting to get started on it. I have ideas for quilts for my two nieces, Amie and Nicole as well and pictures of those will follow once they are started.
Am still working on my table runners for Christmas and have about 12-15 of them done. They are so much fun and go so fast. I made a table runner and two pot holders for my bestest buddy's mom and dad in Wyoming for Christmas, but I'm not posting pix of these yet (because they look at my blog and I don't want them to see).....ooops, but now they know what they are getting for Christmas....oh well. Anyway, the highlight of my week is attending my quilting class with my bestest buddy, Joy, who is diligently working on her double Irish chain quilt and has 8 of 18 blocks done so far.....I wanted to do that until I saw all those tiny squares....having second thoughts on that one, mind you....but hers is turning out beautiful and the colors are warm and cozy. Well, I'm tired and my foot is killing me...so I'm out....

Its soooooooo pretty!! The class is the highpoint of my week also - my favorite activity and my bestest friend - all wrapped up in one!! Don't let the little squares scare you out of trying the double Irish chain.....you'd be amazed how much easier it would be to make adequate progress on that quilt, if I didn't keep dashing from the classroom into the store itself to peek at "what's new?" and fondle fabric.....teehee!!
