Finished up another kid's quilt on the frame. This was the Round Robin that the Sunshine Quilters and I did a long time ago. Since it is wider than I normally make, I was reluctant to quilt it on my old frame that had a "bump" on the rails. It looks tiny on my new frame!
This is detail of the simple quilting - looping hearts:
And, TaDa! Now it just needs binding ...
Well, we all know I'd like to be a country girl, but alas, I've always lived in a city. I was watching this thing come up where I feed the birds and thought that it looked like a corn stalk when the leaves first started coming out:
That made sense since some of the seed I purchase has corn in it. But, NO! When the top came out, where were the tassels?
Turns out that I was growing sorgham!
I'm going to let it seed out and give those to the birds ...
This is the latest WIP:
I'm calling it "Not a Maze" since it isn't ...
It will be next on the frame, then I'll have to put on two Quilts of Valor - they might be a challenge.
Fortunately, I had lots of time to sew today. It rained early, then it was back to blue skies - I wasn't chased away by lightning for a delightful change of pace. This was the view of the clouds from my sewing room:

Gorgeous quilts! Don't think I knew whar sorghum looked like!
I love that round-robin quilt! Not A Maze is cute with a cute name. I'd never seen sorghum before either. I think I remember having bought sorghum flour once; before that I'd heard only of sorghum molasses.
