I now have 3 of the borders done on the Christmas Baltimore Album quilt. It has been so hot the last couple of days that I have been in the house more than normal and therefore getting a bit of applique and quilting done.
In the photo of the Christmas quilt I need to turn one of the borders around as I 
realize the greenery is pointing downwards on two borders and up on one if you see what I mean. I will need to remember to check that when I sew the borders on to the quilt.
On the “Insanity” quilt I have 6 more blocks quilted! Yes I have been in the house a bit. I tend to wilt in the afternoon when it gets in the 90′s and have not been out on the 
porch much the last two days other than first thing in the morning. Evening the evening is not pleasant outside, I think it was still 80 degrees last night when we went to bed. This morning it was 75 when we got up. The mosquitoes have been horrible all summer and we have been going through one can after another of repellent.
The top right photo are blocks #1 and 2 on Row I. The photo on the bottom left are blocks # 3 and 4. The blocks on the bottom right are # 5 and 6. I think my block photo’s are not perfectly clear as I can’t see all the quilting that I put in to them the block with the purple “windows” # 3 does have quilting in the sashing areas and the block #6 has quilting in the brown area that doesn’t appear in the photo. My little digital camera does not do close ups well.
A give away at Marie-Madeline Studio is under way – they are giving away a pretty pink/blue quilt if you want in on the action get on over there!

Wow, both those quilts look great! Good job for getting more quilting done on the “insanity”. And I wish I had some of your super hot weather. I am a hot weather girl and it hasn’t been nearly hot enough this year for me! Today was only 75!

wow that christmas quilt is even prettier every time I see it. I think that little brown bird is next for sure, you have to much talent not to do it.
I would have never noticed the leaves on the border. I think it looks good that way. As long as the other end matched then it would have a directional flow. Of course, if it bothers you then you could not live with it! LOL
Your hand quilting is wonderful! Lots of needls flying over there!
Stay cool!

the border won’t be hard to change because I just have it laid down in place for the photo it is just a matter of turning it – you could say it is upside down!
thanks all – the hot days does make for productive work because it is too hot to do anything outside!
Regina I will take a break from difficult quilt for at least a short while and make one or two easy ones first
Looking good! Your Insanity has growned in this last days and you are almost finishing the border for the other one! I love to see your work growing!
