I got the binding on! LOL If I would have bothered to stop and measure like
Needled Mom suggested, I could have saved myself that little hiccup. ;-) Next time I will know better! ;-)
Then I was going to work on the bag I have had cut out for a couple months, but this project called.... :-) Sorry~ blogger tipped it. :-/
It is some of the blocks from the 2006 Thimbleberries Club quilt. My friend started them and decided she would never finish them, so I inherited them. :-) She had the 8 large blocks all bordered and then a few blocks that were used on the back of the original quilt. She had extra of the black border fabric but none of the light. I found a FQ of it in my stash (love my stash!) so I think I was meant to finish this one. I think I'm going to just border the remaining blocks and find something else for sashing and sew it together. The faux stitcheries in the blocks are supposed to represent the months, but since she didn't finish the club (the shop ran out of kits! :-o ), we don't have the last 4 months. So I'm just going to double up some of the blocks and scatter them in. I think it will work ok....
Karen is working on something golden today. :-)
And
Deb at Cucaroo is binding a Thimbleberries quilt. I can hardly wait to see it! :-)
Thanks ladies for joining in the sew day!
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

What a nice finish for the day! You will love it for many years.
I love those blocks. I am sure that you will do a fabulous job on making something with them. I can't wait to see it finished.
Those are beautiful shades, love the quilt.
A friend is sending me some of her MIL's and said it was pastels, so maybe it is this type.

A new treasure! Congrats on your finish!!
The table runner looks great! Those blocks are going to make a lovely quilt! :0)
when do you do your Thimbleberries stuff - what day?? I was going through my project book, and realized I have a Looooooonnnnnnnggggg waiting project......... I should work on it on your days!!
I am glad you got some sewing time in!! I love to see your work!!
What a productive day you had. The runner is great and the "inherited" blocks are going to become a lovely quilt.
I have a friend who gets my UFO's that I am tired of having around. She does the best job at finishing them up. You are one of those people too.
The blocks are wonderful, and it will be lovely for you to have that as something you finished.

Funny that blogger tipped your photo. I've never experienced that...
