Friday Night Sew-In: Results!
Friday night was sew-in! And I managed to get that much closer to finished with my Sliced Coins quilt!
I got the back pieced together, with every last scrap I had:
And I got it basted! I ran out of pins in the last corner, so a little bit is basted with basting spray.
This little quilt even gave me its name while I was working: "Birdhouse in Your Soul"
Now I'm debating how to quilt it--I'm wanting to do some free-motion, but I'm not sure if I want to try stippling or what. I was at the Rock River Modern Quilt Guild meeting today (what fun ladies!) and I saw some wonderful loopy quilting that I liked a lot.
Ideas and suggestions are welcome! :)

Sliced Coins: Now With Sashing!
So now that the TweetyGigs is off the guest bed, it's time to catch up on my quilt-alongs! I'm less behind on the Sliced Coins, so this is where I started. I had less sewing time this week, as the first round of portfolios have come in for grading...
But today I put the last sashings on the Sliced Coin quilt!

Snowpocalypse YAY
I'm sure everyone is posting about the SNOWPOCALYPSE, and I, for one, am quite pleased about the whole thing--classes at the university have been canceled tomorrow, so my girl Zoe and I are going to be camped out at home. Fortunately she really likes watching DVDs on the little portable player on the guest bed, so I will have some time to sew! (We won't spend all day in the sewing room. But more than I usually get on a Wednesday!)
So, even though I'm a little early for WiP Wednesday, here's an update!
Over the weekend, I got the Sliced Coins baby quilt stacked together (click for bigger):

Sliced Coins Quilt-Along: Cut It Up!
Minor miracles do happen! Case in point:
I decided, spur-of-the-moment-like, to join Elizabeth D.'s Sliced Coins Quilt-Along (link is in my sidebar) and do a baby-size quilt. We're now into the cutting phase, and I managed to finish on time! In time to do the linky, even!
All the while I was cutting, I could feel the pinwheels behind me, laid out as they were on the guest bed, giving me sad looks and radiating feelings of abandonment. They had three seams left, and the top would be ready for borders! How could I do such a thing as *gasp* start something else?
...I refuse to feel guilty.
