Lately, my main sewing focus has been the Weekender bag. I came to peace with my color mistakes and am pursuing this fabric/color scheme shown below. I've been a bit bored with all of the straight line quilting but glad I am not going the route of peltex, as the pattern calls for. Just need to make the straps and add piping before I assemble.
I am also forcing myself to put together my DYO Sampler. It's been on my design wall since at least January- I told myself it couldn't come down until it was put together and I've stuck to that!

Sure love the black and tan fabrics. Cute design and great blocks.
I've been stalking google to find photo's of anything in 'City Weekend' (I'm trying to decided if I should buy a layer cake) and I was taken to one of your older post from 2011 - love the quilt. So thought I'd click on your current posts and call me crazy - there you have more 'city weekend' - It's a sign (well that's my story). I'm in Australia, and haven't seen it before. Is it something that is still floating around in your part of the world in any shops. Would love to track down some more.
