What have I been doing?????

I finished appliquing all the dresden plates and put them together with some of the Liberty fabric. I will add a pieced border - really want to hand piece some smallish rectangles. That fabric is so wonderful to hand piece. No hurry on this piece.
The shades of periwinkle backgrounds do not photograph well........

All my quilt-a -long blocks are done!!!!!!!!. I spent some time working with different layouts and decided on one that is wonky. There are 12 whole blocks, so my quilt will be 3 by 4 blocks and my intention is to add a couple units into the border........ I am hand piecing them together so all seams will lay flat and corners meet.......there are a LOT of seams!!!!
I am preparing fabrics with heat and bond to cut and fuze leaves on the border of a large quilt. It will soon be done!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday I'm going with Cindy to the West Michigan Quilt Guild show in Grand Rapids.
Sunday morning is the Dinosaur Dash.........
Never a dull moment in my life!!!!!!!!!!!

Both of the quilts are quite lovely --- and so very different from each other. I went to the WMQG show --- lots of nice quilts and wonderful vendors --- out the window went my thought to not "buy"!
