Crayon Box quilt finished

It's Wednesday, so it must be time to blog!
Hello and welcome.
I have a finish to report.  It's of a top I made in 2018, as part of a challenge to use up a slew of 2 inch strips of 30's reproduction fabrics.  It is the crayon box pattern by Bonnie Hunter, found on her blog under free patterns.  Her directions are for 2.5 inch strips, so I resized it for 2 inch strips.
I sent it off to a local long arm quilter to have it quilted - it's a pretty hefty size and I did not look forward to shoving it under my old but trusty Kenmore.
Quilted and laid out on the design floor:

And a close up of the border, using very vintage yardage, an early Aunt Grace fabric:

Bound with the same border fabric.  No home for this one, yet.

Idaho Square Dance top is finished

Finally some progress!  I worked hard on this over the weekend.  Lots of navy blue in my stash.  I held back some one yard pieces for borders.  Pieced to get the length needed of course but that is all right.
Final size with borders:  about 72 by 92 inches, so a good twin size.

And I dropped it off with the long arm quilter yesterday.  She is going to get it done before Christmas!  I have plans to give it to a family member.

Idaho Square dance comes together

Just a short note today.  I have made some more Idaho Square Dance blocks, so that the set will be 5 by 7 blocks on point, and a border added.
I have started assembling the blocks with alternating navy blue squares (7 inches finished).  In the photo they are laid out on my "Design floor", with dark carpet.

I am liking the way this is turning out, and already thinking of quilting possibilities.
