I have a possible border combination picked out...........
for the vanilla 9 patch.
Here is the whole top sewn together and pressed.
This is what the back looks like. All of the last seams in the individual blocks are placed in the same direction for a smoother finished quilt top.
Thursday was basting or binding day but I didn't have anything I wanted to do in either category so I made 2 journal covers. I salvaged some of my machine embroidery samples for decoration. You might recognize the one on the right as one of the new strip pieced playtime pieces from last week. There is a tutorial for this if you go to the Labels list on the right side bar and click on Tutorials.
This picture is a little blurry because I took it through the screen on the front door. I usually cut the dead heads off the coreopsis so it will bloom again but now I see I need to leave them there for finch food. This little fellow was on the cone flower first and then flew over to the coreopsis. His missus was there on the sidewalk right after I snapped the picture. 
Today I will pull out the flannel quilt from years ago and see if I can finish the top.
