Well I thought I would start this subject again today to get it going again! I'm finally feeling better after months of the Florida crud. Have quilted several quilts and they have gone home. SO over the week end I sat down with my Bernina and she and I put 1 inch scrapes together and left over 2 inch bindings and added borders to several other little quilt I had stated some time last year.

 

This one some one had made the 9 patches, os just added the plain squares and the borders.

Added the borders to these left over blocks that someone gave me. Notice the little snipes so you can see the size of the piece!

Made two quilts years ago and these were the leftover pieces.  Put them together and added the black border.

Remember the quilt my my 21 year old grandson made for his friend last month? These are those corners cut off when sewing the strip together  for the 1600 race quilt.

I'm working on hand work as we sit in NC waiting for Granddaughter 2.  I'm hoping today is the day.  Both of my children were born on the 21st and it would be so cool to have a granddaughter born on the 21st.  I'm sure her mama won't mind if today is the day, she is ready.  ;)

 

I did get a picture of Kailey under her new quilt so I'll share that.

Dell, you definitely deserve a rest! I'm embarrassed to say that when I get sick, all I do is hold down the couch and here you are quilting like a mad woman! LOL I love your idea of saving leftover binding strips and making a quilt and I adore that log cabin you made!!

 

Our week brought us some fantastic news. DD#1 is expecting sometime in October, we think. Two grand babies in one year! It makes me happy to know my little grand babies will grow up together as cousins close in age! 

 

Here's a picture of our babysitting experience on Valentine's eve. Roran was 3 weeks old here.

Really cute little quilts !    There is a lot of CRUD around Iowa, too.   So far, we have escaped it, but I know a lot who have not.   Now we are bracing for the big winter storm heading our way.   As long as we don't lose power, I have plenty of quilting projects to work on until it's over !
