And here are my snowmen blocks. I have four more blocks to complete. This is a HUGE quilt if I complete all of the pieced blocks that go around it. I haven't decided if I will do that yet. I may just use one of the pieced blocks as a border all around the snowmen blocks.
This last picture is not something I made but one that I received. It is my ALQS quilt which I received a couple of weeks ago from Dawn who is in Turkey. I really should have posted this sooner so please forgive me Dawn for being sooo lazy. Dawn sent some samples of Turkish fabric used by the women there as well as some awesome beads to ward off bad spirits. I really like it. The quilting is fabulous and it looks summery!
And lastly, I am finally caught up with PROJECT RUNWAY. I was a couple of weeks behind with vacation and all. I sat and watched them last night. After the drag queen costumes, I couldn't decide who I wanted to go more - Daniel or Keith. Happily, I did not have to wait long. Daniel, the whiner, was the first to go. And Keith was eliminated in the next episode, though I thought that Saturn car part challenge was stupid. I think that both deserved to go and my boy, Suede, is still in the running which I am very happy about.
To start September, I have three projects that need attention:
1. finish a little purse for my friend, Robbin's birthday in late September;
2. start on the phase 3 of the Round Robin (yep, it has already been delivered to me);and
3. make my living room curtains which I bought the fabric for in MAY.
Oh, and of course, it wouldn't be autumn if I didn't FALL into another challenge! Finn has posted a challenge on her blog which ends on New Year's Day. I stopped by to say hello and jumped in with the promise to finish two UFOs before the New Year. Well, at least I kept it realistic! I could have said I'd finish all of them!!

Look at you, two posts in two days. I gotta say, 'I like it' *s*
I'm right there with you on the PR outs . . . not a lot of inspiring things coming from those two, no matter how highly they thought of their own work. I was a little concerned for our Suede as he worked with Hedda - glad they 'made it work' *grin*
Fabulous! I love your Round Robin, and the quilt from Dawn.
Wow, you've been busy. It all looks great!
I like the addition of the 4 patch blocks--give some order after the crazy patches. Nice color scheme too.
Now i am all "catched up"". lots going on there, RR looks good, Tracey
Love the snowmen blocks. I am also in Finn's challenge. Good Luck!
Those stitches are looking so good...and I always adored green and gold/
