Friday Night Sew In......

Way behind on my New York Beauty Quiltalong blocks!! Finally settled on a color palate...and bought background fabric in Baldwin, Michigan last weekend.
Pin, pin, pinned the Friends' strip quilt yesterday--so it can keep me busy FMQing too this weekend. Purchased every sort of marking pen known to quilters...but could NOT find the Frixon pen anywhere!!

This great bunch of patriotic fabrics will be made into a nice lap quilt for my boss's (our friend's) 60th birthday next month. He's retired from the Army/National Guard as a full colonel. Hoping the 'country-ish' fabric will make it a hit with Mrs. Colonel ;-)  I'm sure she'll like it too.


Sharing this on the FNSI site...Happy National Quilt Day AND Happy St. Patrick's Day, too!
