I feel like I sewed a lot this week but don't have anything substantial to show for it. I made two pillowcases for my friend's birthday gift last Sunday, they will be photographed when I finish the apron I plan to make and include with the gift. I continued to make blocks for Connect the dots to make it a 6 x 8 block layout; just to make it a little bigger than Judy's original design. It took me all morning yesterday to finish the top. I'm happy with the results:
The next step is to decide what to do about borders as I ran out of the green and background fabric, there is still plenty of the pink and the brown floral, so I'm thinking a thin pink inner border followed by a 6 1/2" floral border with pinwheel cornerstones (I made extra green and cream half square triangles, enough for 4 pinwheel blocks). Another option is to find a similar green and use that instead of the pink, there seems to be too much pink on the top already. While I'm letting these ideas brew for a bit, I'll continue to hand sew my New Year's mystery binding. I may have a finished and freshly washed quilt on my bed by tonight. I suppose I better get off this computer now. :-)

I made more blocks for mine too...I am trying to figure out borders too. I love the look of yours.
