NYB - getting closer to finish

Today I finished the paper piecing of the borders for the NYB - Whooo Hooo.  This sure has been long term project.....years in the collecting and doing.  But the end is near!  Only need to get fabric to finish borders and it's done.

NYB Progress

Well, have one border to piece for the NYB and then ready to attach them........it's been a long time in the making but I so excited to be near the end.......the last border will go quickly as the pieces are big.  Need to buy some pieces to attach the pieced border to, so (sigh) that means a trip to a quilt shop.  I just bought a pattern from Cluck, Cluck, Sew so am wanting to get into that now.

A Tidy Sewing Room

For years I have wanted to get all the boxes off the floor and into cupboards.  So one morning I woke and decided to do it......took all day and part of the next but I got there.  Lots of labeling and sorting and it looks so clean and lovely I didn't want to mess it up.

And this is what it looked like when I finished.

What got me started were these quilt tops.....I had gone looking for something and found these two tops.....had completely forogtten I had made them.......so figured it really was time to have a tidy up.

The room was so clean and tidy I was reluctant to mess it up but in the end the love of sewing won.

Disappearing Pinwheels

Finished up the blocks for the Disappearing Pinwheel.....went really fast but now need to do the borders.  Made one different as I thought it was too dark for the quilt but it looks OK and can't be bothered unpicking....I think.
