I also picked up this cute bright blue butterfly print to make a pillowcase for J to go with her graduation quilt. It was 50% off a one day sale. I must really like this print since I have it in pink and purple already!
I also picked up a nice soft feeling cotton solid at 30% off in cream for the backing of the blue log cabin quilt. That one is 90 inches wide. Just wide enough so I don't have to do any piecing. I just need to put the last borders onto that quilt (the second firework fabric is all pieced and ready to be sewn on) and then it can be pinned once the B&C quilt is done. I think the lady cutting the fabric must have thought I was nuts... I tried a white solid first and the feel was so nice and soft. Unfortunately there was not enough of a single cut on the bolt. I went back and was feeling all the bolts and found a cream that was soft. That one had enough for my needed cut and came home with me.
Time to get moving... I think I'll go throw the borders onto the log cabin and then change to the walking foot for quilting this afternoon....

I smiled at the "throw borders on" statement :)
I procrastinate borders and do a lot of throwing, but none of it results in the borders actually being sewn on the quilt properly! *Hee*
I haven't shopped at Joann's recently ... and I need to get there one of these days. Or maybe not since I have fabric for 3 quilts sitting in the sewing room - with plans on Saturday to buy fabric for my storm at sea (which got moved up the list to next in line).
Have fun quilting!
You're a quilting machine! I pinned one a couple weeks ago and it was not fun. I know I could have done better, but I got to the point of done is better than how well it's done. You give me hope that I'll get to sew more when my kids are a few years older. I remember when you had two little ones close in age like mine and didn't get as much accomplished. Love reading all your quilting accomplishments.
