These photos were shared with me.
This picture was taken with a cell phone through special glasses.
This picture was taken on a roof. The trees leaves filtered the rays and you can see the crescent.
I took these last photos with my cell phone just out of curiosity. What will I catch?
Hope you got to experience the eclipse where ever you are.

I think I own every single pattern and template there is to make a Double Wedding Ring quilt. I was driven by my mothers desire to own one. Ultimately, I bought an antique one and gifted it to her. She passed four years ago and that quilt is now in my collection.
In November of 2012 I pulled out a Double Wedding Ring quilt UFO that I bought at a garage sale and asked Mom to pick out the hideous purple pieces that were used as the background. She happily did so and sadly I came down with some sort of flu so we didn't spend much time together. At the time I did not know this would be the last project she and I would work on together before she passed the following May.
This is the background.
Here are my choices for a replacement. Preferences?
Here are all the choices together. Which do you prefer?
I bought the Accuquilt GO die. I hope the pieces are the same size. Will report back but help me choose first!

While thinking about how I'll be quilting the purple cow I chose the fabric to make a backing for the double four patch.
I bought the rest of the bolt of a glittery grey that I used in this top. I decided to prewash it because I wasn't sure how the machine would handle the glittery fabric.
So sparkly....
So glittery!!!
Now I know what it feels like to be glitter bombed!!

p.s. That's the garage floor in front of the dryer in that last picture.
I finished quilting this little gem Thursday night. Trimmed, made the binding and attached it Friday night. Saturday a.m. I got up and finished the job.
I took it to the LQS for a little show and share. Tossed it in the washer and dryer. That evening I gifted it to my friend.
Friday night at church I think was the first time I finished everything I took with me to work on. I trimmed the little quilt above. I made and attached the binding. I added the borders to my double four patch. I dethreaded a quilt top that had been washed and frayed that I plan to quilt next.
My double four patch.
I plan to quilt it on the diagonal with wavy lines.
My next quilting subject. A baby BQ that I call purple cow.
I'm going to load the top as if it were the back then load the cow patterned back as the top and outline the spots. I am still trying to decide how I'll transition from spot to spot. Any suggestions?
The Happy Blocks were my IMG finish. I'm linking up with Patty at Elm Street Quilts.
Hugs!

I will be finishing up the quilting on this little table topper and binding it.
I am stitching in the ditch around the blocks and the inside square. Then in the black space I am stitch ditching to give the appearance of the happy block. Pardon the chalk lines.
i am gifting this to a friend that just finished her sewing room in turquoise and black. Her husband gave her a treadle and I made it to use as a table topper for that machine.
Linking up with Elm Street Quilts OMG goal linkup.
