While I'm Waiting on Thread, Another Top Finished

I went back and forth with a thread delima on

my DS's quilt.  I have a med-gray but it was an

emergency-purchase thread to finish a previous project.

If ever a quilt is going to get a lot of wear and tear, it
will be this one so I'm just not comfortable using a generic

thread (I'm not really ever so why am I keeping it!?!?)
so I gave in and placed an order.  

While waiting on the thread to show up, I pulled out my

other current project, the 30's sampler/Irish chain quilt.

I decided to do the piano key border

(as a reader suggested--thank you)
to use up all of my little scrappy pieces.

And just like that, another quilt top done; in fact,
 the backing is pieced and it's completely ready to
load up...just as soon as DS's rolls off.

Here we are creeping up on August and I'm wondering:
 do I try to squeeze in that Dresden within the next

couple weeks before the overwhelming urge to

create some autumn in the sewing room hits?
Hmmm...

Happy quilting!
