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!
