Testing, testing...does this thing still work?

Not to worry, I am still here.  School has started, I am back to work, soccer is in midseason...life is crazy.  I had to give myself a major kick this weekend.  You see...we have a family wedding on Oct 15th to attend and I was intending on making a quilt out of my Fandango jelly roll.  Only the thing is, I hadn't even started it before yesterday.  I had nothing cut.  Nothing sewn.  There was a month left.  Ahh, the pressure.
So luckily, yesterday afternoon I got some sewing time in.  Shew! I picked out my pattern:  It's a Bling Thing by Anka's Treasures.  Perfect name for a wedding quilt, right?  I got to cutting and sewing.  I love this pattern so far.  I have all of my blocks together (yesterday) and all of my rows together (this afternoon).  My borders are cut as well. 

Unfortunately I need to go to the grocery store.  So this may be the point I stop.

What are you sewing???

You'll be done in plenty of time! I've done Bling Thing, and it was fun.

Can't wait to see another Fandango quilt Kris! Looks cute.
I'm working on a Halloween table topper for us! Had the fabric since last year. Lucky I didn't sew it sooner, we have a rectangle table now and previously an oval. How's that for an excuse.

Good for you for getting started! Haven't done much this week. Will play catch up next week.

You go girl! Looks like it's going to be a cute quilt. I'm STILL working on my Bliss quilt and at the rate it's going, it won't be finished any time soon!

I'm making 2 quilts for my lil' granddaughers (have 2 more to go for the other girls), I'm using the accuquilt rag die. The fabric is Love u by Deb Strain, yellows, green, orange & pink. Love how easy and clean the blocks are fringed with the Go.
