I stayed up way too late reading last night,,,,2:45am!....so slept in a bit this morning. It's a beautiful sunny day here in Nebraska!
The hubby went ice fishing again! today so it's very peaceful here.
After having leftover lasagne (Yum) for lunch I settled down to watch Bonnie Hunter's Quilt-Cam while I sewed on blocks for Spoolin' Around.
Just the sort of Sunday I like.

Top #2.....
FINISHED!!!!....... Delectable Mountains
It was a good sewing day. The snow must have energized me! :) Somehow this top seems bigger than the pattern. I'll have to measure, but really, does it matter? The purple border is crazy, I've never put a purple border on a quilt before, but out of the "maybe" fabrics that I had enough of this is the only one that really looked right. And isn't using what you have the purpose of the "scrappy" style? Lord knows I have enough fabric to use up!
I also worked on blocks for another quilt today. Sewed the block quarters into block halves. There are lots of seams so there are MANY quarter-inch seams to press open. I know I said I was going to start a new project when I had two tops finished, but maybe I'll work on those blocks for a while....I seem to be on a roll.

One Down....And One To Go
It's a top.....!!!!!! Pfefferneuse.
Now to move on to the next one......Remember....I've promised myself to get two projects to the top stage before I start anything new.
The next one in line is a scrappy Delectable Mountains that I started on at last August's quilt club retreat.
After that I want to start cutting out Allietare.....the 2015 Quiltville mystery quilt....the fabrics have been chosen since last May. And maybe start working on a couple of QOV quilts to send off before the end of the year.
Just call me optimistic!!!
