A Day Late

I'm a day late with my Scrap Happy Summer Challenge. Last week I showed you these little blocks.
I grabbed moments last week when I could and put them together. Quilting only took a couple of hours. Simple straight line quilting and then an evening to sew down the binding and it was ready to hang over the dining table.
With that one completed I decided to work on one of the pieces I had prepped. I showed this little peek a few weeks ago. There's four in all.
I chose the blue one to finish up. This seems to be another one that's taking what seems like  forever to get completed.
Only a few more hours behind the machine and it should be ready for it's binding.
Stitching of any sort, along with blogging is going to slow down immensely as I've just landed myself a full time job. But I do have a week to get some things finished.
Happy Stitching.
Linda
