Back to school for me & a finished top


It's back to school for me today...we have a big welcome back district meeting this morning then it is on to school to work. The kids come back tomorrow.

I finished this quilt top yesterday before class and will post a better pic when I get one. I love the secondary circular pattern that you get with this block. I also finished sewing the binding down on the new quilt I will be using for Beginning Quilting...a Double 4-Patch. So I got it hung on display last night too. Whew! 2 handsewn bindings in a week...that is a lot for me!

Pretty quilt. Secondary designs are such an added bonus, and these blocks make a great one.

Your kaleidoscope top turned out great! It's a pattern that I've always wanted to try...I guess I need to cut some triangles and give it a whirl!

Hey that one is really neat!
And I am handsewing bindings on too... and I'm on me second one in a week too!

Eileen said...

Oh this is awesome. It reminds me of the one quilt in the newest issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. I LOVE the look of the curves the triangle make!

Holly said...

Beautiful as always. I made my great grandmother a quilt with that ruler. Haven't used it sense. It was a big project when i first started quilting.
