Thursday morning a friend called and invited me & my boys to go on a picnic by the ocean on Monday {of course I said yes!}. Thursday evening I thought 'wait, I don't have a picnic blanket!' so I pulled out a Wizard of Oz kit my Aunt gave me and started cutting, very happy to think I would have a picnic blanket by Monday.
Fussy cutting the panel didn't go to well, but other than that the piecing was easy enough. Then Saturday, just as I was sewing on the last border strip, I remembered I was out of batting. {sigh}
At least the top and backing is ready to go when I get the batting.
the top folded on top of the backing fabric:

this is the best pic I have of the top:
My boys were nice enough to put aside their drawing to hold this up for me, and they were so proud of themselves for helping, I didn't have the heart to tell them it came out awful & ask them for a do-over. I'll get a better pic after it is quilted. :)
PS - if you haven't already, go check out the Stale Fabric Swap. there's lots of fabric fun to be had :)

I am so jealous that you got around to your Wizard of Oz quilt. Mine is still waiting for me.
It looks great!
What a neat quilt, can't wait to see it finished! I've never seen that fabric before!
I've nominated you for an award please head over to my blog for the details =D
Don't you just hate it when a project stalls out for lack of a main ingredient? That's why we have closets full of stuff all over the house - just in case we need it!!!
