    You will be the envy of us all and doesn't it feel good to get so much done.

    Doesn't that narrow border just set off your Patient's Corner and I like the border you added.

    A good day's work Grace....now please have a rest.

    Well, Grace. you really are amazing!

    Those all came out lovely.
    I'm putting together a don't be such a square and your border on the patience quilt is exactly what I am doing with the thin black border and then using the rest of the strips to make a scrappy border just like that! Great minds think alike! After seeing yours I know I will love mine.

    I love the black border on the s&w...really sets it off. And the border on your patience blocks looks fabulous. I was thinking it might be too much when it was discussed earlier, but it's PERFECT!!!
    You were one busy little quilting bee today! WHEW! you make ME tired! lol
    A full, productive day for you...GREAT job on everything!

    They are all great, but the greatest thing of all is your energy! It's incredible how much you got done. I think the piano keys with the dark border are perfect for that last quilt. I still have a small top from that swap to make a border for; yours is an inspiration.

    Oooh, really pretty. You picked great fabric for the s&w. I keep scrolling back up to look at it. The rest are great too. How did you get so much done in just one day?

    Oh I just love your S&W . The picture really shows the detail. I just got to learn how to do that. Did you learn from a book ? Is it very hard ? Mary in Va

    Those are all fantastic!!!! I'd never seen a stack-n-whack close enough to see howt the pieces are put together. Very interseting.

    Great job on all!

    Nice days work!!! I love your S&W I have the book, mirror and the fabric but I am intimidated by the project so it has been on the shelf for a couple of years.

    I really like Patience Corner how many different fabrics did you use? Did you use FQ's, I looked for repeated colors but they all appear different.

    Marty, One of the things I love about S&W is that I don't know what each block will look like. I carefully like up all my layers and cut them out and sew them up. It's fun to see each one develop. Just grab the fabric and start. You'll have a lot of fun.

    Beautiful job Grace! Each quilt is a Goldilocks: "Just Right"! I absolutely love the piano keys on your patience quilt. Your S&W certainly seems to be inspiring a lot of people, too!

    They are all really gorgeous and I am *very* jealous; I have no time for quilting yesterday or today. hmmmm, Sunday's pretty open though.....
