Well, I don’t have ten things to show you today, but I did finish my Bliss Quilt top! That pieced border took longer than I thought, plus I had to piece a backing for the top. I have decided to use up the fabric I have sitting around, which is a lot, and found a nice-sized piece from one of Bonnie and Camille’s first collections: Hello Darling. Vintage 2015! lol. I do tend to hang onto things. But as my sister Kate always says, “Fabric doesn’t go bad”.
That piece has a cream background with medium-sized red flowers and a pale aqua ribbon design, and I think it pairs so well with this Fig Tree group called Stitched. Don’t you think so?
At this point, I have three quilts ready to go out for quilting! Setting a timer and doing my Pomodoro thing has really been working for me. Today I think I will tidy my sewing space and work on the A Quilting Life BOM, which I have fallen a bit behind on. I also want to assess my fall sewing, as I know I have one or two autumn projects folded up unfinished in the closet.
As we start the countdown to the weekend, I hope your week has been going well!

Kudos on a job well done! I really like that pattern and the backing you chose could not be better!
Looks fabulous – loving the colours too.
I think the colors make me happy . I am using the 90 minute plan to do some heavy cleaning today but I rather be sewing!
Good luck with the heavy cleaning!
Yay on getting the top finished, and that backing fabric from Bonnie & Camille is spot-on!
Very fun setting to show off those blocks. Congratulations on another finish!
The setting is what drew me to the pattern. I don;t know when the sew along took place, but the pattern set is available on Fat Quarter Shop. “Bliss”
love this quilt!
That Bliss quilt came out so good! Great job using up stash too!
