My original idea (before getting my partners info) was a scene from my window. I wanted to include the mountains, a patchwork sky and a bunch of brightly colored flowers. I really really want to try the quilting in the details method that is becoming so popular with the flowers.
Here is a pic before quilting and binding...
Then I got my partner info and was super excited that she liked all the same fabric types and colors that I did, but she was not big on scenic quilts. So I saw a picture of a fun 'star' shaped table topper and modified it to include themes and fabrics my partner would like. It turned out really cute and forced me to cut into some of my favorite fat quarters (something I have been dreading). It is really cute and still needs bound and the gnome faces added...
I have also been working on the binding of my Father-in-law's golf quilt and should have that finished in a couple days.
I also participated in the Mini Quilt in a Bag Round 4 on flickr. Jessie from Tiny House sent me a charm pack of Moda's Wonderfland by Momo and this is what I made her...

I sent her a Moda's Swell charm pack and this is what she made me!

and it came in the cutest little bag!
Of course, I have been continuing to crank out Bee blocks, including...
July's Sweet Dream Quilting bee blocks for Julie Antinucci
and
For Rachel in the August Sweet Dream Quilting Bee
and
Wonky Stars for Melissa in the August Stash Busting Bee
So now I really need to go work on binding and finishing my Doll Quilt Swap #7 quilt so I can mail it soon.
