At the gym this morning I was even more eager than usual to finish up <g> so I could go pick up my quilt.  It turned out gorgeous - and when I trimmed it found out that my precision piecing had made it virtually perfect.  

I am SO pleased with it!  When Alex is home this weekend I'll have him and Tom hold it up for a picture so I can show it off.  

It's quite large, my biggest quilt to date.

When I got home from Cindy's a 'new' guy (not from the block crew) was here to paint - and he had the gate to the backyard standing wide open. 

Naturally my first thought was about Brownie because of the dog door, 

but happily he was safe and sound in the house.
