I finished up the last of the yellow lozenges and a few other rainbowish ones that I had also cut along the way so I now have a total of 320 done at the half way point. My goal was 405 so with six colors left to go I will easily pass that by! All my yelllow Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks are done too and I am ready for the next color! Linking up with
SoScrappy! We are halfway through our rainbow and this week we will post the first half of the rainbow, so be looking for that!
I got the binding on my Ring around the Hexies quilt. This is really one of my favorite quilts. Hand sewing the hexies, piecing those gorgeous Bonnie blocks and the quilting is great! Ros is so talented and knows just what I want even when I don't! Thanks
Ros!
Here it is hanging above the bed (which wasn't made so it isn't in the picture!).
Last night we watched "How to Train Your Dragon" while sewing a bit and I made these three little churn dashes. I am getting quite the stack, they are really fun! Today is our work "picnic" and we are all going to see part two of the movie and then to Oregano's to eat. Tomorrow sewing with Becky and the other Kathy (and maybe Barb), the last two I haven't seen in forever, so should be fun. No idea what I am going to bring to sew, thought maybe the long forgotten Hawaii Sunset
which I FINALLY got out. I cut the remaining blue strips and attempted to figure out the angles needed for the cornerstones/side triangles. GRR. Not as easy for me as I would like. I also discovered I didn't cut the remaining green squares (why of why didn't I?) so I have plenty more cutting to do! I think it might be too frustrating to work on while gabbing so I may need to prep something else tonight or drag out a WIP that is easier!
Oh in WW news, I lost 1.8 this week so almost to 43 pounds. People are actually stopping me and asking me what I am doing so it is noticeable finally! :)

So many pretty yellows. Sounds like you have a fun day planned sewing. Great job on the lifestyle change and 43 pounds gone. Amazing! You rock.
I love that ring around the hexie quilt. THose setting blocks make it look like it's glowing. If ever you get tired of it just send it my way. I'll give it a good home xx
oops. Forgot to say well done on the weight loss. I know it can be hard work but it'll be worth it in the end xx
Wow your wallhanging is spectacular. I like your assortment of yellow blocks also. Congratulations on your weight loss. I am sure you are feeling so much better.
I was busily getting ready to comment on this post when I got side tracked on your Bonnie's No 1 fan page. I was blown away. You aren't kidding there girl are you?? You have really churned out a few of Bonnies quilts!
Oh, and well done on that weight loss. It would definitely be visible on you by now.
Beautiful blocks. That is awesome regarding weight loss. Keep up the healthly living.
