Britt...

... Showed us her now complete Twined Rug:

There was some mention of moving the rods to change the way that the edges came out:

Britt almost ran out of the fabric from the duvet that she cut up for the rug.  Eureka!  She discovered extra strips of duvet fabric in the garden.  Her husband had used some of those strips to tie up the tomato plants!

Ruth S. wasn't with us this week, but Dee Dee picked up her Pineapple block from Ella...

Joy stopped by to get it from Dee Dee, as she will be assembling our Pineapple Pieces donation quilt top:
