Design Wall Monday

No sewing progress this weekend....  so my design wall looks the same as it did at the end of Friday.  This upcoming week my focus is Clothes - must get ready for back to school.  Countdown is on: 2 weeks to go!

Ssome discussion about what I'm going to do with my lone dresden.  The discussions involved 3 options, as the quilt top is currently 28.5"x 28.5"

• Add a border -- I'm out of the border colour,  so either a darker beige (as in some of the other dresdens) or the dark brown.  And then quilt & bind.  Drawback - its really too big for my table, so could only be used as a wall haning
• Add a few borders to increase the size to 48" square
• Cut the corners off and turn it into an octagon -- then it could be used on my dining room table.

I'm leaning towards the octagon.  It wouldn't be too difficult to finish.  I think if I were to make it a larger quilt, it would become a UFO....

Canning
This is what I've spent my weekend doing... 2 batches of Blackberry Jam, 10L of Blackberry Juice... Added to last weeks Plum Jam (and I think I made 5 batches of it) and Plum Chutney.  And the Plum Vodka I made is great with Sprite, or Orange Juice!
