And the winner is...

I bid on a silent auction item at the local St. Vincent de Paul thrift store, and found out today my $70 bid won!




The item included all 12 months of the BOM, as well as over 8 yards of backing fabric - and it's all Michael Miller fabric.  Very excited!  I looked at some photos of the finished quilt online, and it looks really nice. 

When I was at St. Vinnie's today, there was another complete quilt kit in the next silent auction -- of course I bid on it!

This month's Grandmother's Choice blocks are all done:

I used a paper piecing pattern for the coffee cup block - a 4" block, and then increased it by 200%.  Seemed a lot simpler - and I'm all about simple!

I'm getting over pneumonia - - made it through the whole day at work today.  I'm exhausted, and weak as a kitten - but glad to be back at it.
