I'm afraid the new photo looks a lot like the old one. Besides making February blocks for the Block Lotto–which I cannot yet share–it was more of the same, as I returned to the quilting of the border of this quilt.
It seems I mis-remembered how much was left to do ... and so my optimistic plan to be making some scrappy binding by the end of the night was was, well, a little too optimistic, even with the moral support of Grace Hopper, the material cat.
Today the sky is dull and gray and filled with dark, low clouds. With a weather forecast of lots of much-needed rain on the way, I've decided that it's a good day to make soup and stay in the studio and re-aquaint myself with the little purple machine that could.
How did your Friday Night Sew-in go?
Late afternoon update
I have persevered and the end is in sight. Johnny Be Good recently came downstairs to provide second shift support cat duty. He's still a little sleepy–both he and his sister have spent most the day cat-napping upstairs. Now, I think, they've come down for an early dinner ... but I am determined to finish the quilting before I stop to cook (or feed them).

Is there anything better than a calico cat sitting on top of a calico scrap quilt? How cute!
Hi Sophie, just popping in from the FNSI linky... What a gorgeous quilt you are making, I cannot imagine the work involved in it... I see that the cat approves!
Your quilt looks fabulous. They sure are a lot of hard work behind all these beautiful quilts.
