1. Just received my latest Quilters Newsletter. Everybody who has a copy, please turn to pages 60/61 — the book review section….la di da di da!

I haven’t looked at any of the rest of it, but I do notice that they have got a new look, and some new columns. I look forward to a more in-depth read later.

2. Yesterday was a good DHL/UPS day — 2 rolls of batting (the Quilters Dream blend I had ordered), plus an unexpected box of batting — got a free queen-size batt from Fairfield. It’s their new 60/40 cotton/poly blend. Has anyone tried it? I’ll be sure to report as soon as I’ve had a chance to try it out!

3. And I guess I alluded to this the other day, but last week I got the newest Quiltmaker magazine: they had a blurb about blogging, and some of the blogs they visit — and they very kindly included mine in the list!

I should probably go look up links to the various companies I’ve just mentioned and include them, but I need to go do some serious contemplation of supper, plus that darned quilt is still calling my name….6 more blocks to go, plus a gazillion rows of sashing….

TTFN-

Couldn’t get that one to upload yesterday.

And here is the scrap quilt I’ve been piecing, the center is all put together:

I’ve been calling it Confetti, but as I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I think it’s going to be renamed. I was contemplating borders, binding and backing, and remembered that I have this cute crayon fabric. I’m still not exactly sure whether the fabric will be a border or part of a backing, but the quilt is going to be named something like:

The Whole Box (of crayons)

All the Colors in the Box

I am sitting here writing this post because I’m trying to avoid finishing the quilt on the frame. 42 large blank blocks, over half are done, but they seem like they are taking forever. Plus, I have to figure out the sashing and cornerstones yet, too. I’d better go get it finished so I can quilt my crayon box quilt.

Babble at you later -
