I got my HUGE quilt top done using a lot of Glace by Moda. The pattern is Kathy's Simple Quilt.
I enlarged the borders from 6" to 9 1/2" so I could scallop them after the top is quilted. At this point it measures about 103" square. I'm probably going to have it quilted with an all over floral design.
This means I only have ONE more project to do for Charming Girls Quilt Club and I've met all my July goals!! The problem is the last project is making my Witchie Hats for Jane's Spooktacular Swap and my pattern is a bit time consuming.
I'm marathon sewing today to see how many I can get done. I work at the quilt shop tomorrow, and I have Friday I can sew hats before the deadline at midnight!
Wish me luck! (and sleep!)

My mother-in-law was in Nebraska last week visiting her son's family. They live right near University of Nebraska-Lincoln which is home to the International Quilt Study Museum.
She brought me this *darling* wool owlie pin! The center is a covered button. Isn't it cute??
It's about 3"x3"

Speaking of my mother-in-law, I know sounds like an intro to a bad joke - right?!
She and my sister were over here yesterday and we stripped the wall paper from the walls of one of my bedrooms. YUCK!! I'm glad I had help, but I was still surprised that we got it all done in one day!
OK, I'm off to sew!
