Slow stitching Sunday?

Well, there will be a little but the majority of time (I hope) will be with pins and a sewing machine today. That graduation quilt needs to get finished. The top is done. I still need to piece the back, cut the batting and get it pinned. The good news, I sat looking at the photo of the quilt for a while last night and I think I know what I will do with it. Nice and easy and not too much quilting. Did I mention I hate making decisions?

I'll hold down this part so it doesn't move - said Ollie.

A little progress has been made on the last Dresden block... but not much. About half the blades are hand quilted. I have been looking at the individual stack of blocks and I think I am just going to sew them all together without the white sashing like I had planned. Each block is a good 16 inches  - so a 3x4 setting would be 48x64...a nice snuggle size. Decision made! Boy, all these decisions sure do tax the brain!

Ollie was my model today.... get me in the photo too Mom!

That decision frees me up to start hand quilting the hearts and nine patch quilt I made in May. This one might get sewn together... it depends on how things progress with the first one and how much kid time is required today. I hear they want a family pool day for a bit. Grandma is recovering from cataract surgery on the second eye on Thursday so will take them tomorrow for a little bit instead of today.

My hope..... to be working on some binding tonight but we will see how the day goes!

Linking up with Kathy and the other slow stitchers today.

Oh, I also got a prize in the mail this week from the Hands2Help Challenge! I got a little 3 pack of hand made soaps from Aunt Em's Soap. Thanks so much! Ollie thinks they smell great!
