The Quilt is on Hold Again.

I was all set to go last time I posted.  XD  Monday, two of my kids had doctor appointments on opposite ends of Las Cruces (thank goodness for Paul, who took the oldest to his appt.)  In the evening the older two had Boy Scouts.  Tuesday I was running around town, and by the time I got home it was time to make dinner.  Yesterday I worked, and then ended up spending a lot of time on the computer "working" but not officially.  I did get the back of my quilt pieced together, but that's as far as I got.  However, piecing a quilt back is a BIG deal for me!  I have never done it before, and always chose to just buy enough of 1 fabric to make a back out of.  I bought two colors this time, thinking I would test the creative waters.  Then on Saturday night, as I was cutting strips, I realized I didn't have enough fabric.  Bernina is closed on Sunday & Monday, so I chose to dig into my stash.  I ended up piecing a lot more than I had expected, but it looks great!  This quilt is going to just be my throw around quilt, and the patchy back gives it the perfect character.  It needs ironing before I can take a picture.
I also have pieces for a girl’s outfit that I cut out last week, but that's on hold until I can finish my quilt. 
Busy, busy, busy!
