Thank you to all the participants that sent me pictures of your quilts! I love the variety of each of the quilts and how each one is unique and special!
Sharon Gratz’s quilt is being long-armed:
Rosie used leftovers from hourglass round to make stars for the corners and then added borders to bring it to QOV size.
Jan H’s is quilted and bound!
Katie Y says, “I added uneven 9 patches and one of my larger fish to try to balance out the yellow.”
Robin’s is quilted and bound!

Quilting Gail 
What a beautiful quilt Gail! Your borders are so pretty in those gorgeous batiks. The other ladies – Sharon, Rosie, Jan, Katie, Robin, and Donna – have made such pretty quilts. It’s fun to see what everyone does with the prompts.
I plan to link up at Kathleen’s at some point during the next week. Thank you for hosting!

Thanks, Karen. Nope, no UFO. I work really hard to prevent UFOs from landing in my quilt room (or hiding in another part of the house!)
