MIA

for a couple of days.  Busy doing this and that.  Went to lunch bunch yesterday and had a delightful day visiting with friends and seeing all of the show and tell projects.  Saw Sue's darling painted baby quilt, it was absolutely gorgeous.   She used fabric paints to fill in printed designs.  We also critiqued her black and white blocks on the design wall.  It just didn't look right and weren't playing nice in a quilt top, then one of the gals said hey "put the blocks together into sets of 4".  It worked beautifully so then suggestions flowed on how to add a "wow" aspect to the quilt and she decided on lime green.  It was awesome and I can't wait to see that top put together. 

I worked on the binding on the John Deere quilt and discovered that some of the edges of the binding hadn't gotten caught up in the seam so I have to do some repair work before I start stitching it down.  Will these 2 quilts ever get done or at least be done before the kids are in college.  Shees!!
