4 patch w/ leading top almost done

Michael took Cookie for a walk first thing Sunday morning (8/4), while I headed downstairs to get a jump on my quilting day  :~).  I kicked off quilting on the 3^rd QoV and continued to work on my 4 patch with leading.  I had a long talk with Jan in the morning….her recovery seems to be EXCELLENT, although she doesn’t have her stamina back yet.  She sees the doctor again in a couple of days to see what follow-up (if any) might be needed, and she is determined to go back home after that doctor visit (she’s been staying with her daughter and daughter-in-law up until now).  By early afternoon I had the third row done on the new quilt:

By the time I stopped for dinner, the quilting was done on my QoV:

and so was the most of the top on my 4 patch:  

I still need to put borders on it, but I am very pleased with how it turned out.  Michael and I had more of our restaurant leftovers for dinner, then I got one of my QoV quilts cleaned up and off of the frame and onto the to-be-bound pile:
