Saturday quilting...

 I used the golden tissue paper to help with placement of the motifs on the borders. 
The rest is freehand that I drew my thoughts onto paper to help keep me focused. Once the free hand quilting is done I still have to stitch in the ditch at lest around the teacup squares. I hope to finish this tonight.

Made a minor adjustment...

 This is the before...
Here is the after.
I was able to use all the original parts. I just was bothered by two busy borders touching each other. So I moved the teal border from beside the outer purple border to between the two pieced borders. Now I'm happy with it and will be able to start adding some more to it so that it can become a bed size quilt.

Monday night Guild meeting...

We revealed our group One Row Robin
 Tijuana's Halloween theme rows 
 Bea Bea's bright stars
 Marj's Birds in my garden theme
Kerry's bright flowers theme
Patsy's Christmas theme

Next is the Round robin reveal
 Marj's top
 Rori's top
 Donna's top
 Carolyn's top
Sally's top
Feedback from all the Ladies that participated in these two groups was all positive. They all agreed that it was hard work but by having two months to complete each round it was doable. Maybe next year our Guild can get some others to do another Round Robin or Row Robin
