Yeah! Lucy is done with her quilt. Now off to the quilter she goes. Baby Soren will just love it.
Nice corners!

FINISHED

Stack and Whack is done and ready to go to the quilter! Yeah!
My quilt top is laying over the quilt bottom so you can get an idea of the color. The cat print is the last of the quilt top. Gold and purple are the back side of the quilt. My corners are not perfect but I'm getting there.
All in all I think it turned out nice. In the process of making the quilt I learned a lot of new things. Measure a hundred times, cut once. Pin, pin and pin again, sooner or later your points will come together. Press, not iron. Don't forget to unplug the iron before you go to bed. Diana is a great teacher with lots of great ideas. Thanks Diana for all your help.
So off to the quilter we go. Now just help me decide what pattern to use for my stitching. Way to many decisions. Will post the finished quilt in a few weeks.

Monacan vs Bird. The fans are ready for the big game. Bird is undefeated so far this season, but
Monacan Chiefs are ready for the challenge. Monacan scores first from their own 9 yard line.

Bird comes back with a touchdown and failed extra point. Final score Monacan 7, Bird 6. Several freshman players were moved up to JV but that didn't stop this freshman team from stomping the Skyhawks. Way to go Chiefs!

With the quilt tops assembled it is now time to make the borders. Three different borders are selected for each quilt.
Christmas Cats and
swimming fish are almost done.
Diana gives us last minute measuring tricks.
Zelda decided not to make a quilt but measuring, cutting and pressing lessons are always a help. Thanks Diana.

Miss Piggy? No, just Katie Kate modeling her new pig costume Brandi and Richard sent.
Katie is pink as a pig due to her allergies most of the time, so why not a pig suit.
She is loving this!
A pig in the grass is worth?....... Poor Katie Kate.
