Sew, its Friday

I've been having a regular Friday date with a friend. She brings her children and machine and we break out the projects. She's borrowing a dress pattern and I'm helping her through it. My oldest daughter, MissA takes charge of mixing cookie dough, and the children do art or play with the toys as time and temperament permit.

I pulled out a quilt that I'd started ages ago. It's a "stack & whack" style in which 9 different squares are stacked, then cut at angles to give 9 sections of each color. The squares are mixed by changing the color out on each area and sewn back together. I'd picked out a flannel backing and the batting last time it was out. Half the machine quilting was finished today!
