Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I had a good day in the sewing room. My DH was on the road and DD is away at school so it was just me and the kitties.
I spent some of my time putting binding on the gray and yellow Denyse Schmidt stacked coins quilt.
I also put polka dot binding on this Vintage Modern quilt.
And then of course I worked on these dots! This is Spot On and I must say I really love the print but I’m not too happy with the fabric. Maybe it’s me but it feels a bit thin.
I’m linking up with Quiltsy and WIP Wednesday.

Can't wait to see what you're doing with all those dots!!! I have noticed some fabric feel rough, some thin, some smooth as silk. Serious fraying drives me nuts the most.
I love those dots too..but it really disappoints me if I paid good money for fabric and it feels thin. :( I love all of your stuff!!!!!
Happy Belated Birthday and I love all the bright colors you are working with!
Getting down to the binding is a hugh sigh isn't it? I think the quality of fabrics has really gotten poor of late - they are paying less wages to manufacture overseas, charging us a huge amount for it, and then it is garbage.
Fun projects. Yeah, yesterday I was working with some "quality" quilt fabric and finding myself very disappointed with the thinness. It wasn't the fine-thread thin of batiks, but a wide-spaced weave thinness. I was rather miffed as it was expensive, too.
Happy Belated birthday! binding means finishes soon.
Those dots are intriguing. Can't wait to see how you are using them.
Happy Belated Birthday and thanks for taking on the Quiltsy blog. You are awesome!
I love all the polka dots :)

I missed your big day, happy belated birthday! I'm a dot lover too, and for awhile I was adding those and bright colors to my stash. They're fun to work with.
Belated Birthday Wishes Char! Your quilt labels are so cute! I am a dot lover too, so can't wait to see what you do wtih those, but like you, thin fabrics annoy me, particularly for what fabric costs these days.
Love the dots!
I nominated you for a Liebster award on my blog - pass it on if you like!
