Three fabrics were pulled and pinned onto my design wall to see which one would be best for the alternating squares.  The one on the right is out completely.  I like the other two and am having a hard time to decide.  The one in the middle has an obvious diagonal line and I don't really want to see that.  So, thinking outside the box .... te he ..... what about taking the left hand fabric and cutting it into squares the same size as the corner stone and using the middle fabric to frame it?  Now, that idea appeals to me a lot.  Looking at the sashing and corner pieces just pinned in place, I'm liking this project a lot!  The striped fabric on the left will be the borders.  So, more on this idea in another post.

My niece sent me this photo of the quilt that her oldest daughter (age 12) picked to go with them on their family reunion.  I'm surprised that she still is using it!  That quilt was made for her when she was just a few years old.  It is still going strong.

Cherish your day, cherish your life!

Not one ...

..... but two projects got to the completed stage this week.

Today, I'll talk about this top.  Little Pony.  All that was needed was the black embroidery and it was completed.  About an hour of work was all that it took me to do.  So silly not to have done it sooner.  Oh well, I'm getting there by just plugging away at projects.

Talking of plugging away, today this top will get pin basted today in readiness for machine quilting.  I love this zig-zag backing.  So cute.

Oh, happy, happy days.  Things are getting DONE and bins are getting empty!

I'm linking this post to http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/ to join other bloggers from Canada.  Go and check out what is happening this week in Canada.

Have a great day!
