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!

  7. 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!

  10. 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!
