Design Wall Monday - Week 22

Happy Memorial Day! We've spent the long weekend planting grass, which has cut into my sewing time. Still, I've made decent progress on the Hunter's Star.
I laid it out on some leftover batting when SOMEONE kept running across it and scattering blocks. Of course, SOMEONE thinks the batting makes it even better to nap on.
 On the actual wall is the iSpy. The two side rows are together and most of the two middle are pieced. I might need to cut one or two more pairs of novelties to fill it in.

Sunday Stash Report - Week 22

Because I'm feeling slightly grouchy about it, I'm counting the Steelers quilt as out this week. I can't find a border that matches the gold locally, and I'm not going to the city again until the OK Shop Hop. So it's just going to sit there until then.
Of course, I bought the backing, so I'm not winning at this at all. (It was on SALE!)
I also bought a half yard of the beige Civil War print to finish up those blocks, and 1.25 yards of pink Kona to finish up the Hunter's Star.
Used this Week: 2.33
Used Year to Date: 57.01
Added this Week: 3.75
Added Year to Date: 87.63
Net Used for 2011: (30.62) yards

Giveaway Winner!

Mr. Random picked AMKreations! She's a fan of Countdown to Christmas. 
I'm not surprised to see all the Flurry fans. I've got four charm packs of 12 Days of Christmas from last year. Kate Spain rocks!
Personally, I'm all about the Grinch this year. We watch it every year on Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday season, and I can't wait to get my hands on those Grinchy fabrics for decorating.
Congratulations to AMKreations and thanks so much to everyone who entered!

Work in Progress Wednesday - Week 13

{If you're here for the giveaway, head here. Or browse. Browsing's cool, too.}
Steelers Quilt: now has two out of three borders. I'm not sure what to do next - I know I don't want to end with all those HST seams. I could do another plain black, or some sort of B&W. (The Steelers banner has B&W dots, for example.)
I have just barely enough of the Steelers fabric for a skinny border (like, 2" tops) in either the white or the gold. But the quilt is only 57x47" and I was hoping to make it bigger. So... Not really sure what to do there. Thoughts?
Manassas Railroad: six blocks completed, most of the rest cut and in various stages of put together.
iSpy Sliced Coin Quilt: row one is pieced. If I meet my goal of piecing one row as a leader/ender each day, I should put it together on Saturday.
