Top done; and I smelled something burning

Top is DONE - I LIKE it -- especially the triple border that is mitered. Each miter turned out well, but I do have a little cupping at the corner. I can live with it.
You see how the bright, 'in your face' contrasting fabrics kinda blur the normal circular features of a regular Kaleidoscope quilt. Your eye just does NOT know where to look.

You know how you like to vacuum up threads, etc., between projects? It's been a LOT of projects since I cleaned this vacuum cleaner, and only because I smelled something burning!

This unplesant job always reminds me of a uh hemmm, an unpleasant medical procedure we gals already know about! (Sorry, I think of that each time!) My word, how can my trusty old Hoover even function? And what is all that orange thread - I don't remember an orange project? Who's been sewing on my machine?

Tomorrow, Monday - it's off for more batting and quilting thread - a dusty lime green should do. And I DID cut all my fabric for the backing into 10 1/2 in. squares. 8-))) I had 2 possible fabrics, but both were too small, and by cutting each of them into squares, the backing will be just right! I deserve a gold star for using stash on my backing!
