I finally finished appliqueing this garage sale fragment onto a background square. Eventually I'm going to add some other applique work in the empty corners, and then borders.**********
While I was browsing through my project tubs, I unearthed these blocks. They were started last year using leftovers from this quilt that I made several years ago. The finished quilt was done using Lynda Hall's Tin Roof pattern. The 'leftovers' blocks have kind of a Jan Patek feel I think. They are BIG -- they'll be somewhere in the neighborhood of 22" once they get trimmed down -- so with just three more blocks and some sashing and borders, I might have a queen-size quilt for November.I had hoped to do a Halloween project, but October is coming up fast and I 'm not having as much sewing time as I used to, so I decided to be realistic about what I'm going to accomplish.

Maybe I'll resume the B-a-D again next year where I left off ... just couldn't stay with it this year, what with everything else that has happened.
All in all, a nice afternoon of exploring in my room!

Your life has been so full, no one would say a word about BAD!
I am struggling with getting tops sandwiced to quilt!
goodness, I am beginning to feel ... challenged!
Er,,, that would be 'sandwiched'!
I love to see your cheery face on the id pic!!
Oh, Jeanne, love the table topper. I'm about to do the same thing with a hexagon fragment, that is, applique it to a background.
Oooh! Lucky you, I miss my days where I can putter along at my own pace.
The hexagon quilt looks so good as a table cloth!! Great idea to put it on a backing and the added applique will be nice...What a find that was!
That would be a great hexagon project I might actually could finish! Would be a lot smaller than a bed size!!
Thanks for showing the quilt tops--your dedication to different colorways really added up to some great looking tops. Sounds like a good day in the sewing room. I hope to have one of those again soon!
That hexagon fragment must be really happy that you came along and made it into something useful and beautiful! I think doing a b-a-d every day would be too much pressure for me, but I do like the idea of picking away on the project and doing a block here and there until a wonderful sampler emerges! Cheers!
