I bought 3/4 of a yard to bind the Shakespeare in the Park but I used it immediately. I also forgot to count the binding on the Triple Irish Chain last week so out goes 1 1/2 yards. Yea! I'm still in the black. 

This week was a good one. I finished quilting SITP, (#4 for the year) got it blocked and bound. For quilting I used the Circle Lord. The crosshatching was ruler work. This pattern is in the Creative Pattern Book (by Judy Martin) only I changed it a bit. The pattern is only two colors and I did three. It also has asymetric coloring and setting (5 x 6) which bothered me. I made the quilt 6 x 6 which added more blocks and would have made it too big. To compensate for the added size I reduced the blocks from a 12" to a 10" block. I am really happy with how this turned out.

Are you ready for some pictures?

I love the backing I used. I looked all over for green and purple fabric and finally came across this one that had happy birds. I figured the birds fit in with the "in the park" theme.

Now I need to get working on my double wedding ring and the Jelly Girl. Gotta have something to show for next week. 
I hope we all have a great week of stash busting.
