Turning Twenty Quilt

Our local quilt shop had a big sale starting at 6 a.m. on the longest day of the year. I was there at 6:15 a.m. and was the 6th shopper. I will never tell how much money I spent. But with have a 40% discount I did a pretty good haul.

I bought some fabric that had had a very busy pattern so got about 12 fabrics to match it to do a a "Turning Twenty" quilt. The dog has ruined our carpet. Will not go into detail how or why about that. So my quilt is laying on the kitchen tile floor so I can make sure I get the blocks in the correct order. Am keeping my fingers crossed that I have enough of the main fabric to do the 6" border. If not will be making the border narrower. Will take it to the quilt shop for them to quilt it. Then am thinking about taking batik for the binding. Will see when I get that far.

Then the next project besides the "MidnightOil BOM" that I am in and the local guild challenge called "M & M Challenge" and the "RR" the local guild is doing is to do the paper piece quilt. It is for our niece that just graduated from Law School in Lubbock, TX and will be working south of Dallas.

This is the last picture I have of Tootsie Roll. We literally lived in Wichita, Ks from June 3 through June 23. On Fathers' Day our youngest son and family was checking our ranch. D-I-L commented she had not seen Tootsie. Todd walked around the house and there she was floating in the full horse tank.
