Second August finish........

The hand stitching on the binding was finished last night.  I really like this quilt.  There were 4 different blocks for the Fractured quilt in the book but I only used two of them and did an off center layout.




I love my backing fabric.











I have mentioned several times about cutting volunteer trees in my back yard.  This is the same spot 2 weeks apart.  Those are the suckers that grow up around a tree stump where a live tree was cut down.  There were as many as 30 on one of the stumps (neighbor's trees) and a lot of them leaned into my yard.  They were anywhere from 5 to 10' tall.  I cut all of the ones on my side of the stumps.  This photo just shows where 2 of the stumps are.  I cut many more to the left and right of the area in these photos.  I have 2 piles for brush pick up this week.
