| The Knotty Quilters all agreed this is hideous fabric, so we split it up and made whatever blocks we wanted out of it to go in a traveling quilt. |

Hideous Fabric Traveling Quilt
I did get my Sunset Sail quilt back from the long-arm quilter's a week ago. I have to put the binding on. I got my Japanese quilt top completed and need to get the backing done. After that the next project up is the hideous challenge fabric blocks that the Knotty Quilters made, oh, a year-and-a-half ago. Then they gave the blocks to me to put into a quilt top. Photos of those should be posted in the next few weeks. That fabric is truly hideous, but the blocks that have been made are truly fabulous.

March and Beautiful
It is March and the weather is beautiful. The Knotty Quilters are planning their road trip to the Magic Valley to view all the beautiful and fun quilts at the Desert Sage Quilter's Magic Valley Quilt Show on the weekend of April 13 and 14. I am all a-twitter!
Also, we had a field trip to local quilt shop that I can never remember the correct name of. It is Quilt Expressions. We took the bow-tie quilt top, we all made together, and wheeled round the shop gathering bolts of fabric that were candidates for the back fabric and the binding fabric. We definitely picked two winners! This fine bow-tie quilt is in the final stages of really become a quilt.
I have been hooked on the little snowman wall hanging and have two more in the works: 1) is quilted and bound and is needing the hat, scarf, and buttons attached; 2) is quilted and partly bound and is blinding pink! My goal is to get them both completed by the last day of winter; March 20th! Wish me luck! Luck O' the Irish!

Ah ha! Bowtie blocks successfully uploaded. All the blocks are actually sewn together now and it is in the very capable hands of Phyllis the Wonder Quilter. She is going to sew the borders on. We met last night and had a great time doing our individual projects and sipping tea while chatting it up! We are known as The Knotty Quilters!
I have to dry my hair and get to the commutter van now, or I shant make it to work!
