Random Progress

For a four-day work week I did not get as much done as I anticipated.  But progress is progress.

Backing for the HST Quilt

I got the backing and binding prepared for the HST Quilt.  I had originally planned for just the maroon as the backing, but since I added an extra row all around, it was no longer large enough.  I added the strip of stripe and I think it works well.  The stripe also became binding.

Quilt, backing, and binding ready to go!

Then I got out my next UFO to work on, but I was totally uninspired, so I thought about what to do with the orange & blue 9-patch blocks to make them large enough for anything.  I had an idea that involved scraps, but it turns out I don't have as many orange scraps as I hoped.  So back to the drawing board on that project.  

But that jumpstarted me into the neglected UFO.  I forgot that I had to take out another machine to Frankenstein the batting, but I just took a deep breath and did it.  I got it pin basted, so quilting that should keep me busy for the coming week.

I missed sewing one day.  Just too tired and that's okay.
