Welll...if 'twere mine, I'd say purple.  But then again...

It's going to be lovely when it's finished.  I'd curl up with that in ANY room in our home AND take on the road too...  I think I'd have to carry that around from room to room - my "woobie"...

Diane, I am envious of that one!
Thank you, Paula.

I do have this Laurel Burch horse quilt that is done (picture is before finishing, but you get the idea):

I truly like it either way, and it's just beautiful!!  And, yes, it won't ever be far away from me at home and may certainly travel with me as I visit/babysit grandchildren !!

No new picture, but I got the borders on, and I hope to go to this month's sewing night in town to get the most recent quilt layered and pinned and so I can quilt them.   I'm quite proud of the borders on this last quilt, I think I did a good job; I went with the horse print and I mitered the corners (first time I can recall, and they turned out pretty good).

A friend gave me this tabletopper pattern, so I decided to try it out, finally.
I think I'll make two with this fabric and then see how many more I might make and what fabric.
Still a work in progress, and pattern call for cutting the corners diagonally making it an octagon.

Here's the second one, all sewn together and corners cut to make it an octagon.  It's about 23" across.  The light green fabric next to it, is the likely binding.   Both will be available when finished in a week or so (I have 2 bigger quilts to finish, too).

Need to get a bit more fabric for this one.  it's a guild project charity quilt for local Vietnam veterans.
It's currently only about half as big as it needs to be, and I'm all out of the fabrics I used from my stash.  I've ordered a red/white/blue fabric that says peace and love on it, looking at a blue star print, and I need more white on white.  I was hoping to just use stash fabric, but didn't have enough red, white and blue fabrics to do it.

Made it to the sewing night, got 2 quilts and 2 tabletoppers layered and pinned and ready for quilting. 
Picked up some white fabric at the quilt shop in town for the red, white and blue quilt; have a blue fabric on order.
