Yes, I shoved that fat cat off and finished up 'Tucker'. The button is on the side bar and you will have to search for the 3 parts, but this works up so quickly. And you don't have to use those tiny 1.5" squares, use a 2" or 2.5" and you still get a really cute wallhanging or runner.
This is the back - a Barbara Brackman 'Civil War Jubilee' collection - this is Lincoln's Legacy. Quilted with a light grey Metler thread top/bottom with my walking foot. The binding - a scrap we found when cleaning the shop and it kept getting tossed from one chair to the other. I finally put it in my pocket and gave it a home.
A little finish gave me time to play for a bit. I was having closing the shoe tote for the HSTs (bonus triangles), so I made up over 30 pinwheels - just enough clean out right now so I can close that tote. Yes, I'm boxing some of my block play which will head out to Sarah's group once I fill it over the next couple of months.
I hit up another tote that was rather stuffed - my kitty fabrics. Our quilt guild will be collection pillowcases next meeting for a local charity, so I best get started. These are a variety of prints from Connecting Threads' "Parlor Pets" and Studio E's "Witty Kitty" - 2010 and 2011 - time to move them on. I like to use the 'Hot Dog' pillow case pattern which you can find for free all over the internet.
Some little finishes to fit into the day,
Sewingly Yours,

Hi Sharon i love your table runner or wallhanging,its very striking my friend,good luck with the pillow cases xx
really liking the table runner and pin wheels always make into a nice quilt. Lots of cat prints which will work so well as pilowcases
It came out very nice! I was thinking to finish mine similarly.
The Tucker is great but it was just as pretty with a cat on it :). That's a great pile of fabric for pillowcases.
Love your finish....it looks great. That pile of pinwheels will come in handy for you I know.
I like how you finished Tucker. I only did one row of the flying geese.
Cute!
Such a sweet little runner! And isn't it fun to sew up older fabrics into charity projects that you know will be appreciated and enjoyed? Perfect!!!
Lovely finish
Love how your Tucker finish. Those pillowcases will be fun :-)
Lovely finish, Sharon.
It finished up just as pretty as I thought it would - good thing the fat cat moved!
Your Tucker is fsb! I didn't join in the project but love seeing everyone's color choices. Love your pops of purple and red :)
