Back in Blogland

Hello Everyone,
 
I'm back to blogging now that the Thanksgiving holiday is over.  I hope all of you had a wonderful time with family and friends.  We did!
 
I actually managed to squeeze in a little bit of quilting time yesterday.  At the cabin, my sister Gail, put some color combinations together for me. 
 

Unlike most people fairly new to quilting, Gail loves, LOVES to select fabrics for her blocks, and mine.  I handed over the basket of fabrics and she went to town!


She put ten beautiful combinations together for me while I cut out the pieces for the blocks.  When we got home from the cabin yesterday, and all of the company went home, I stitched the final 14 blocks together during the football game.

 
 
The blocks I finished yesterday are the final 14 blocks for Butterscotch Baskets.
 

 

My goal for the week is to finish the remaining basket blocks, and setting pinwheels, then sew this quilt top together.  Now the borders are going to take some time!  This has all the makings of a busy week.  Fun......but busy.
 
Soon,
Lynn
