off to the quilting pile

that would be the orange scrappy mod top...finally done, well almost.  have decided to add a very narrow white border to it to "stop" the eye and then it'll get bound with a gray solid which should pull out the gray in the alternate blocks as all those oranges are a bit overpowering.  and that aurifil variegated orange thread is perfect for quilting this!

this pattern came from the book "modern neutrals" altho would hardly call it neutral!  but it came out exactly had envisioned it would be and really like it a lot.  this one is a keeper....and yesterday was the monthly meeting of the bee; brought my little solid bow ties and got a small stack sewn.  still need quite a few, like 180 or so, to finish off this project but there's no deadline....basically to use up scraps and stash. 

am also quilting on the donation quilt and sewed up a small stack of 2" squares into foursies.  next up is the latest of the star blocks with those yummy kaffe prints and finish up an applique block PLUS kit up 20 blocks for a QOV for the guild...whew!  still missing my little job--and especially that nice little paycheck--but managing to keep busy regardless.  lots of quilty events coming up this spring and hoping can squeeze a bit out of the budget to attend at least a few.  now back to regularly scheduled sewing!
