I'm making progress on this quilt. I sewed on the green gingham border. So now, I still have to finish tying (not much headway there) the liberated quilt I made for the Amish-Gee's Bend Challenge (see previous posts) and I have to pin baste this one. I'll be busy. I don't like to have a lot of quilt tops hanging around, so to speak. It's important to me to complete each quilt top as I go along. I feel a real sense of accomplishment after I finish sewing on the binding. So now I have two to work on. I'm also crocheting a shrug for myself, knitting a sweater for my daughter, plus I had a big idea yesterday on how to use up some green baby yarn that's been in my stash for ages, and started knitting a baby sweater. This sounds like a big bunch of stuff, but--I did complete a sweater and cap for my granddaughter yesterday evening--so stuff is getting done, eventually. By the way, I made a baby hat and booties for my doctor last week. I have an appointment with her this week. My dentist just went on maternity leave, too. Good news, people keep having babies!
And another thing, I'm reading a cute book That Dorky Homemade Look by Lisa Boyer. It's an amusing book about sewing quilts. A quote: "Give it (the quilt) to someone you love dearly. They must drag it around the house, wrap themselves up in it when they have a fever, spill something brown on it..."

Your little stars quilt is so cute!
Oh my, you ARE busy! You make me feel like a slug!
I loved That Dorky Homemade Look! She's so funny, and right.
My - you are busy. Love the stars.
I just love this happy little quilt!
I should be more like you-I have a closet full of quilt tops that need to be quilted. Now that the weather has cooled off some, I'm going to try to finish somethings-starting with my drunkard's path-I'm working on the border!
I love this quilt top, the stars are awesome. Since I am new to quilting I am forcing myself to finish each quilt before I start a new one. It's not an easy task.
The stars are so cute! I need to learn to stitch the blanket stitch... They look great with the scrappy blocks!
