I finally finished the top of my QM Bitty Blocks. It's still longer and skinnier than I wanted, but it's okay. It now measures 56 X 89. I struggled with border ideas and finally just used the same black mini dot fabric that is used in the sashing. I will bind it with a scrappy multi color binding.

I also pieced a backing for Fair and Square I posted last week. I had LOTS of strips left over and they were all sewn end to end as that is how the quilt was made. I started sewing them together like the jelly roll race quilt (aka 1600) and then decided I should really have a plan and see how much I needed. I have only scraps leftover! The blue was in my stash but needed to be bigger.

Now I need to make the backing for my Fire Island Hosta.

Yuck, I'm sorry you got the bug too. I think everyone I know has been sick this month. I'm glad you were able to sew anyway. I spent the day getting my Seeing Stars put together mostly.
Glad you got to stitch the borders. Hazards of working around young ones, they share those nasty bugs. Crossing my fingers to avoid that. I had fun sewing blocks with my guild friends.

I was sick too but unlike you I just laid on the couch and watched tv! ;)
Your bitty block quilt looks great. I love all the happy color!
