I was able to finally turn my 110 Canyon Dance blocks into a quilt top. In an earlier post I had auditioned sashing, but decided against it. I already have a Canyon Dance that is a little brighter, I was just trying to use up some of my batiks! I will probably eventually donate this quilt, when it makes it to the top of the "to be quilted" pile!

I spent quite a bit of time piecing a backing out of leftovers for this quilt. I LOVE these fabrics. I pieced this top in November, 2015 and I want it done this year for Christmas, so I thought August
was a good time to do it! I am ready for machine quilting now.

I had picked up a couple pair of eclipse glasses earlier in this month and took them to work today. My husband had another viewer at home that was free in the paper. My coworkers and I stood outside and watched the eclipse. We are north of the area of totalality and had about 95% coverage. I did not take pictures of the eclipse with my cell phone, but thought the crescents in the shadows of a tree were pretty interesing!
