I have been working on the vintage quilt repair for about a week of evenings, and finished the front last night! There are some holes in the muslin back left to do, but they are too boring to show you. I will replace the binding with wide binding like what's there already, to keep it looking like the original. This was a lot of handwork!! Every time I fixed a torn patch, I found another place that needed repair. Oh well, it is looking good now!

Looking good! |

I don't know the name of this block, but it is complicated. |

Mr Wazoo was gone all day yesterday, too, working on the longarm assembly for a friend. I loaded this beauty and did the stitch in the ditch and quilted all the pieced blocks! I need to do the plain blocks and border.

It's fun to look at all the fabric choices while quilting. Some of them are beautiful, and some humorous! Grasshoppers playing pianos! |
I got the binding done on this quilt I quilted a couple of days ago, too. My sister pieced the top. It will be a charity quilt.

The binding is a seashell fabric, just the right colors! |
After work, I started yet another quilt I have always wanted to make. Probably not the best idea; having two quilt assemblies going at once, but I just wanted to do it!

Block number one |
No goofing around today! I will be quilting until 5:30 or 6:00 and then cutting pieces for the back repair of the quilt I finished last night. Maybe I'll goof off tomorrow...
