What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I decided to add a border to dart. I was able to use leftover pieces of jelly roll strips and I wish I could say there were no scraps left, but, there are. I am using a brown backing and black binding strips

As part of a new month, I did a check on my Ufo count for the year so far. I link up with Quilting Gail and PHD for the February report.

 My 5 quilts progress report. I tried to not do this EVERY week (boring) but, it has worked to keep me focused. And, I miss it. I find I have been a little haphazard without it. I thought I would do it every month, but, I think I need to go back to every week to help me.

Happy Birthday to my oldest - such a blessing. I have no idea how he could be getting soooo old.

Another early morning and I might be ready to make a block.

Happy valentine's day - I hope you have chocolate in your future.

I liked the colors and wanted to remove it from my stash. There was a garage sale sticker on it, so I must have found it thrifting. I don't remember it at all.

does this look like a whole quilt?

  Covid has come to visit and I am not very perky. I think we are holding our own, but who knows.
