Getting Closer To Finishing The Quilt

 This morning, I was up before hubby. That's unusual. But was nice for once. 

I had my war game at noon and then back at 4:30 pm. So, I wanted to get some work done downstairs in the meantime. It was time to get back to my quilt tops. 

I had to trim some of the side borders. It wouldn't fit the blocks that go in the corners. I had to take a break when I was to this point. 

Came back downstairs and found that I had to take this apart and cut a longer piece of white. Somehow, I had them short. So, I got to work. It didn't take long, but it was no fun ripping it out. 

In between doing the quilt, I was baking bread. I had 4 small loaves. I gave two to the neighbors. 

I got this far, then realized I need another 5" to the quilt all the way around. I was trying to decide what to do. I decided I'm not going to put another fabric there. Instead, I'm going to put a strip of white around it and bind it with the red in the middle. I have just enough. 

While I was trying to decide, I worked on doing two of the pillowcases for a couple quilts that are done. 

I will finish them later. 

Came upstairs. My tablet ran out of energy, so I decided to get my embroidery going. I pulled out the dog for the quilt. I have 2 to get done and I need to work on it NOW. As well as the round robin pieces. 

This is close to getting done. I have the bow tie on wrong, so I will have to deal with it when I mark where I need to do the outlines. I'm almost there. I need to use my light box to get the lines on there. 

At least I was able to find time to enjoy both by being Happy Quilting & Happy Stitching!
