Design Wall Monday

This morning, I finished sewing the binding on my 4th purple tumbler quilt.  I love how easy it is to complete a quilt using this method.  One of the ladies in our Quilt Guild taught us how to do the machine binding.  What a delight.

Of course, I still have way too many tumblers pre-cut (with my Accu-Quilt Die Cutter) that need to be used.
So, I found a pattern on-line that placed the tumblers across the quilt end to end, which gave a different look so, here is the beginning of my design.  I still have more tumblers to use, which I need to put away for now, so I can go on to another project (s). 

1)  Quilt of Valor, half-done, that needs to be completed prior to the end of the year.
2)  Mug Rugs promised to over 10 people when I was in California in June.
3)  An "I Spy" quilt for a friend's new baby.
4) and many more items too numerous to note at the moment.....

New Ironing Board has been ordered

For over 20 years, I had an ironing board attached to the wall in my sewing room.  It always creaked a little as I ironed but I didn't think much about it.  Well, today the ironing board broke.  My husband was in gear within 15 minutes, on the web and ordering a new ironing board for me.  Can I make it 5-10 days without ironing my fabric and my quilt blocks??  We shall see.....

I'm looking at the situation as an opportunity to clean up and organize my sewing room before the ironing board arrives!!
