While I was adding sashing to my quilt top, my iron decided to up and die. Technically speaking the light still comes on, but it no longer feels the need to be any other setting than cold, which pretty much defeats the purpose of having an iron in the first place. I knew I wouldn't have any other time this week to work on it though, so I pressed open the rest of the seams with my fingers and a cold iron. Good times. The quilt top is done, but you can tell it doesn't exactly lay entirely flat and the fabric is a bit more wrinkled than usual, but it's not bad all things considered.
I'll have to get another iron and make sure the entire thing is flat before I layer it. I don't actually use my iron for anything but quilting, but it's still a much needed object around here.
I used some of the blocks designs from the Marmalade Squares Quilt and a whole lot of scraps to form this quilt top.
