Birthday quilt progress and a finish

I have been rather busy over the last days, cutting and preparing charms for the Postage Stamp Quilt Challenge and Swap 2012. Sunday evening I had enough charms for the July swap and I even have some sets for the October swap.

You may remember I posted about the birthday quilt I'm making for my friend Johnny in Norway? It has been neglected for quite some time, but now I have to give it first priority. The 'birthday child' is landing here middle/end of August, so I have not more than 5 weeks to complete it! PANIC!!! :) So far, I have 18 blocks, but I think I need more...

When I was busy cutting the charms, I had enough time to churn out more ideas for Johnny's quilt. I came up with some 'Flying Geese' blocks and started working on them yesterday morning.

Either he has had enough of being neglected or he knows whose quilt I'm working on... :)

Some days ago I finished this chocolate themed table runner

Close up. Those chocolate pieces look delicious, don't they?! :)

It's early morning, I've had a mug of hot cocoa (nesquick - the easy way!), so now I'm ready for more 'Flying Geese'.
