This week I was able to use 3/4 yard binding  the ugly quilt that could. I love to use bias and the black I had was a scrap so I was cutting out strips that were only 13" long. I don't think I have pieced a one color binding with so many seams. Good thing it is black because you just can't see the seams.

I dodged a bullet this week. On Wednesday a few of my quilt buds I went on a mini shop hop. We returned to the store that had the Fresh Cotton fat quarter bundle. Oh let me tell you temptation was great. I picked it up, fondled it, and dithered. In the end I put it down, patted it lovingly and told it I had too much going on right now and it just wasn't fitting into my list of things I want to do. Do I regret it? No, because I have figured out that fabric manufactures keep making beautiful fabric. When I am ready there will be something new that I will love just as much if not more.

I did buy a pattern from a local designer and now I am looking for fabric for that. Simply Sweet is calling my name as well as Flower Sugar. We will see. I am trying to hold off until I get more of the DWR put together. I appliqued the circles on 50 of the arcs this week. So total arcs done is 200 with 132 left to do. Woo Hoo.

Since I don't have any pictures of quilts made this week haw about one of a quilt I made several years ago. This was a fun string quilt. I was made for a guild auction. Pattern is from Quilter's Cache.

I hope you have a great week busting that stash.
