Here's my latest bust. My jigsaw puzzle lap quilt. I pieced this one several years ago, Debra quilted it, and I bound it this week. Not sure where its eventual home will be. I might keep this one, might give it away.
I also worked this week on the Quilt of Valor for the new Pell City veterans home that I'm making in honor of our friend Gene who passed away in the spring. What have you done this week?
Had some good reports from some of you Blogless Busters this week. Deb P. says, "I have completed 160 granny squares and am going to start assembling them today. Never thought I would finish them! I have also started making fabric key rings, the kind that look like lanyards. I have made 4 so far. Worked some on another afghan and a crocheted tote bag."
And Blogless Barbara reports, "I put bindings on 3 itty bitty quilts that were each made with leftover bits from other projects. I'm hand stitching the binding on the Single Irish Chain binding but am not finished. The extra batting that my quilter kindly left attached to the Roses quilt has been trimmed off. I'll be using that batting in future itty bitty quilts."

I love the puzzle quilt and my mother would have loved it, too. She always had a 1000 piece puzzle in process at the den table. She said that the best idea in her den decorating was putting the card table up behind the couch. It held a lamp and she was still facing the TV while working on her puzzles. Thanks for reminding me of that!
Cheers for Deb P. in persevering through all 160 of her granny square blocks!
Hugs!

I have a puzzle quilt on my UFO list too! I've got all the fabrics cut, I just need to lay them out and sew them together. Yours looks wonderful!

Love the puzzle quilt! Very innovative and clever, and pretty. By the way, I busted a UFO a couple of nights ago. Didn't get any pictures, but a few bruises. It was right after moving into my new bedroom. They're just keeping tabs!

Excellent finish by getting the binding on your puzzle pieced quilt. My friend has been cleaning out her sewing studio and moving it to her basement and she just gave me this same pattern! I am getting inspired to start choosing fabrics from my stash.
