Saturday I spent cutting, this is from a jelly roll made up by my LQS, and will turn into, I'm sure, a really pretty quilt from a recent book I purchased thanks to Magnolia Bay Quilt Blog. I also got the blue strips trimmed down to all the right sizes for the planned pattern. I even stripped and squared up the scraps and they have even made it to the storage boxes. Good eh?
I also liberated my orange,pink and umber batiks, I'm not sure which pattern they are for yet, but the pile of fabric is much smaller now.
I got sidetracked by a pattern currently on Moda Bake Shop, I have my charm packs laid out ready for sew together.
I started the quilting on the Amy Butler quilt, and today I finished it. I also got the binding made and sewn on ready to be hand sewn down on the back.
A busy weekend, that actually felt very relaxing. I even managed a few domestic goddess chores too. How good is that! (The late evening sunshine was a welcome bonus)Happy Quilting! :o)

Love those colours and you've been soooo busy! I'm up to my eyes in the garden at the mo, what a delight to have a whole meal gathered from our own soil :) does mean the other sort of sewing has to take a place on the back burner - still got a brain buzzing with ideas though!!
How weird - I KNOW I posted yesterday, but I've disappeared!
I said I thought you'd had a really busy weekend (I shall totally ignore the domestic goddess bits,(gg), I wondered which pattern you're doing from Kim's book, and I also said I loved the pink, orange and umber fabrics. Are they destined to become a quilt soon, or were you just playing then?
Trudi your quilts look awesome! What did you have done to your back? I had spinal fusion surgery in January 08. I feel much better now! By the way, this is Lynn aka A Plus Quilt Shop!
