So what's up on the design wall? Pretty much what was up last week, the 2008 Brown Bag BOM. I did make some progress on cutting and sewing the framing strips. Only 4 blocks left to frame, then I can sew the rows together and add the borders.
Some time was also spent on making a test block for a new project I'm hoping to start later this week.
The fabrics used in this block were all scraps, the actual quilt is going to use Asian themed prints. This quilt has been in the design phase for about 2 years, I couldn't come up with something that used the focus fabric well. Now that the final design has been worked up in EQ, I'm hoping to finish this project in time to give it to my niece for Christmas.
That's it for me this week. What's up on your design wall? Check out Judy's Patchwork Times to see how others celebrated National Quilting Day.

Nice job! I like the colors in your brown bag quilt.
Like your new block -- it looks a little like japanese lanterns so will go well with the oriental fabrics.
Like your blocks in the brown bag quilt.
Your test block is looking really great.
The blocks on the wall are so pretty and the quilt is going to be lovely.
The test block is great and I think asian fabrics will make it just sparkle!
The Brown Bag looks great! I love the colors. Can't wait to see how the other quilt goes. :)
Love your sashing design for the pink & green blocks! You're so close to finishing the top :)
I like the little four patches as the cornerstones. It looks great.
For someone who was on vacation, you seem to have gotten a lot done. I really like your new block.
I really like the way you've done the sashing strips on your Brown Bag quilt. Can't wait to see more of your new quilt.
Sweet colors in the Brown Bag BOM! I like the new quilt bunches!
