Friday check in: QBL and some progress

82 looks good, doesn't it?

 Look who had a birthday on Tuesday!  We had pancakes as a celebratory breakfast.  I posted the photo on Facebook and reported to him the number of comments and "likes."  He was surprised and appreciative. 

The tumbling ribbons wall hanging from last weekend's workshop is QBL -- quilted, bound, and labeled.   

I decided on a simple pieced border for the floral applique wall hanging. It's under the needle now.  I will wait until it's finished to post pictures.

I made the setting "triangle" and corner units for Rhododendron Trail.

Here's the initial layout. There are more blocks than this.  (Because my studio is in the basement the ceiling is low and thus the design wall isn't tall.  Many of my quilts get put together sideways.)   

I think my "garnets" are very dark and some of the pinks are quite light.   The skinny turquoise sashing will provide both breathing space and a pop of contrast.
