4 blocks done for the 4th

You may recall that I made 4 of these blocks back in April.  Well I hadn't done anything with them for the last two months, just moving them around from one surface to another, trying not to commit them to that black hole of a cupboard in my sewing room.
I had a few loose plans in mind (another black hole), maybe some place mats or pillows, then dreams of a bigger medallion type quilt emerged, surrounded by flying geese blocks and different colored borders, kind of Gwen Marston like. 
Meh.  Nothing moved me into action.  Enough all ready.  Just sew the darn things together and be done with it.

I did, however, piece the binding and put a little effort into the back.

I machine quilted it with a variegated thread.  Not too sure if I would use it again, especially on a white background, but it's done and that's the best part really.  It's just done.

This holiday weekend, I plan on having at least one or two meals out on that picnic table you see up there.  It's going to be hot, but a pot of homemade chili poured onto a pan of these with some fresh corn sounds very 4th of July to me. 

 Have a great weekend!
