What a lot of work you are putting into this quilt. It's going to be so worth the effort.

I don't seem to have a project to post about, to many other things running through my mind right now. I wish some days I was a stay at home Mum again, then I get in my car and head off to work. When I was home I wanted to work, when I work I want to stay at home.

Maybe when the weather is better so that I can spread them out in a good light. Love the look of your scrappy binding, what a great idea. I love, love, love doing the binding and taking out the pins one by one to leave a beautiful finished edge. Maybe I'll do something made from scraps next, I have quite a few now. Hope you're having a lovely afternoon of sewing.
