Thus passes our youth! (sic gloria transit mundi, etc., etc.)

In more mundane news: two more quilts have homes!
1. The orange Penny Patch - LG.
I was a bit surprised that L chose this, I would have thought she'd go
for the Rainbow Around The World.
2. Grandmother's puzzle - NS - needs a backing.
Another surprise - this is a somewhat traditional quilt with one 'odd'
block. The blocks were gifted to me in a 'birthday block swap' but I found I
didn't like the fabrics once I'd received them. Then one block was missing and
one block was the wrong side, so the blocks sat around languishing forever,
until I finally decided I'd make up the missing blocks and sew it all together
as a top.
Still to offer to: JS, SG, AG, KR, RR, DP, DP.
In fact, about 3/4 of the quilts I'm offering still need backings, which I'm thinking should mean I sew a bunch of FQs together... I mean, that's the theory.
Although I just pulled out a slew of 'old collections' that I've been 'saving
for a rainy day'. Eh. Screw that. They're going out as backings!
(Except what that really means is that I'm about to have a whole new generation of scraps turning up and ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH. Oh well, I guess I can further stuff the pouffle.)
If I can get the selected quilts and their backings and their battings to the quilter before I go away, then I can bind them when I get back. (ahahaha, or, y'know, in a year's time when I actually get around to it).
Still have the binding on multiple quilts to do. Oy.
