What We’re Working on

 I didn’t get any pictures of works in progress yesterday. We received a wonderful donation of fabrics a week ago, 4 large totes of fabric. So yesterday was spent sorting and emptying 2 of them. It is a fantastic gift to us. We won’t need to go shopping for quite a while, other than perhaps backing for specific quilts that need a specific back. I have been working on finishing up a couple of things here at home. Last summer we used a Toronto Maple Leafs themed quilt as a fund raiser for our P&S group. Our daughter saw it and thought it would work as a fund raiser for our grand daughter’s school. So I have made another one. It needs layering and quilting yet. I’ve also put together another of the animal themed panel quilts, this time with deer in the centre. It is finished, but I don’t have a picture of the finished top. It too needs a backing and layering. I did manage to find backing fabric for it out of those 2 totes we emptied yesterday. And I finally gave myself permission to start something new. This is a Judy Martin design out of her Block Book. It is a large block, 20 1/2 inches square. At the moment I am thinking of perhaps doing 4 blocks and then using more of the diamonds as a border. I’ll figure it out as I go along. I brought a quilt home yesterday that needs quilting ASAP so that it can go back to be prayed over on Sunday and then be delivered next week. So that will be my first task today. After that I hope to do more of the star blocks. I’ll link up to Finish, or not, Friday
