Up at 2am again. Lots of Netflix and reading going on:) I finished the top of Tedi's quilt, got the back ready and used a leftover piece for the lable. Binding is cut-feels good. My friends, one from Lancaster and one from El Cajon will spend a day with me at Quilter's Paradise renting the longarm. Jan has a queen to quilt as well. We need a good visit! if we don't finish both on Monday, I will have them help me load mine and i will come back Tuesday and finish.

| 58x74-large enough that I won't add borders |
 |
| Backing is a white on white with a paisley design-didn't have a large batik piece but I think the W on W will be fine-going with a medium thread on both sides so the quilting will show |
 |
| Need one more border on these placemats and have 2 borders to put on the other 2-there were just enough end pieces to make four mats all a little different. | | |

I also got 3 EPP pies prepped and 12 basket handles prepped with applique templates to finish a mini quilt for a class in 2 weeks. Not at all tired-hope I can sleep tonight-but not before Downton Abbey!

Aren't batiks fun? They add so much interest. I really like the very subtle touches of blue. Your label is exquisite.
Wow, Elaine, that was really fast. The quilt top looks fabulous, and the label is perfect. Have a great day!
Beautiful quilt and you know I love the batiks.....I even have that dark brown one and always enjoy using it!
Thanks for sharing.
