What a Load a Scrap: Progress!

Sunday, September 5, 2010

Progress!

Just popping in to see how it's going. I started the weekend without a plan. By mid day yesterday I had completed all the blocks languishing on my sewing table. So, I pulled something from the closet (something I posted about last fall). The top has three sets of borders - I'm half done!!! My stretch goal is completed top and back - one more ready for quilting!
Picture of an antique quilt vendor from Paducah 2010 (with vendor's permission).
