Friday Night Sewing... and more on Saturday too....

Last night I got a quilt top ready... The winter quilt I started this summer is now ready to quilt.  And I plan to put it on the longarm machine next!  One more practice run tonight, then onto a real quilt!

 Today I headed out to the fabric store and I picked up some backing fabric.  Since the fabric I had at home wasn't long enough...   I miscalculated how much I needed (ok I forgot to double the amount) and so then after getting home I realized that I really should have bought more... so I pieced in a small strip!

When adding the borders to the pillow tops, I did mitred borders for the first time.  Fairly simple, but time consuming, when needing to match stripes!
