Two More Flimsies and January's Monthly Recap

Belatedly, here is a full photo of Hanabi's quilt top (Macnas series no. 10).  

(earlier not-yet-pressed reveal post is HERE)

Hanabi has a wide back waiting in the closet with its binding already made.

Rastro, one of the four Macnas series bonus quilts, is now a flimsy.  

52" x 72"

I need to seam the backing for Rastro and choose binding fabric.

Motley, another of the four Macnas series bonus quilts, is also now a flimsy (corners to be squared after quilting).

48" x 64"

I need to seam the backing fabric but the binding is already made.

We're still essentially housebound although DH has ventured out twice.  Our driveway is still only partially uncovered and after Thursday's high in the low 40s, we're back in the below-freezing zone until sometime next week.   

(local schools and  most city offices/services ended up closing for this whole week)
