1st: I finished quilting Hawke's John Deere quilt. This is the first time I have pieced the backing. I only had one yard of the backing fabric so I pieced two strips to line up for the ducks and teddy bears. Then I made a few more green and orange blocks. It is also the first time I have sewed the binding by machine.
After the John Deere Quilt came the table topper I'm making for one of the para-educator's in my classroom for her April 1st. She is an awesome gal who works one on one with one of my students with Down's Syndrome. This student is non verbal and very low functioning. They recently moved into a cabin in the woods. I thought the Northern Botanical fabric be great in her home. I used it to practice my FMQ. This binding I sewed by hand.
Tonight the Badgers, Indiana and Ohio State all play. I just may have a Saturday Night Sew In also!

Linda both your boy quilts are really gorgeous.
Did you like machine sewing the binding?? I always do that. Much faster and stronger.
