Works in Progress Wednesday

I feel like I spent all my free time this week looking at this:

 and this:

sneak peak at the quilting on Lexi's tree quilt, so far
the grass and sky need something - wavy lines/straight lines?

I finished quilting my Supernova, and am ready to hand sew the binding.  My husband and I are a few episodes behind on our Glee watching, so this should work out well.  I need to finish the quilting on the tree quilt (above) for Lexi, and then decide on binding.  I'm thinking stripes -- but not for sure.  The rest of the quilt is solids, so I'm not sure how that would look -- we'll see!

one of my favorite blocks

binding is on, ready to go!

My only problem was this:

Has anyone had this problem with their sliding mat for FMQ?  It doesn't seem to be sticky on the underneath side anymore, and I quilted right into it (and wasn't able to easily rip the stitches out)!  Huge bummer!  This was part of the reason I decided to quilt my Supernova with straight lines.

Also finished up this:

for the Pretty Little Pouch Swap -- finally!  My partner is probably wondering where her pouch is, with all the finished pouches posted to flickr lately.  It's coming, I promise!  I used Noodlehead's gathered clutch tutorial, but pieced the middle section to coordinate with the lining.  I used linen for the outside, and love the way it wrinkled/gathered!
