Life is so busy! I am sure I said the same thing last week! I did make the next block in the Be My Neighbor sew along and I am up to date on the 100 blocks 100 days Modern City Sampler sew along. I also volunteered to be an angel and made a mini for a recipient in the Teal Mini Swap to support Ovarian Cancer research. I showed the one I received and one I sent in my last post. That's basically all I have gotten done Someday I really am going to learn how to take straight photos!
I tried something new to me on the binding of this mini. I have done flange accents many times and generally I sew my bindings down by hand. However for this mini I cut a 1 1/4" strip of teal and a 1 1/2" strip of pale green and sewed then together and pressed in half leaving the green larger. Then I sewed it on from the back and machine sewed the binding down on the front in the seam between the green and teal stripe. Corners were tricky, but it's a method I will try again.

This is a kit I bought at the Spokane quilt show last weekend. It's so cute and two friends bought the same one. It came with snowflake buttons. I will work on it at a quilt retreat in a couple weeks.
