Quilt, soup, and backing

The pink quilt is 100% pin basted.
I put the pot back on the stove with the ham bone in it to warm it up. I took the fat off first. I pulled off the meat and ended up with 10 cups of broth and a nice bowl of ham. All of this for $3.99. The ham bones were on sale because of the holiday. The only time I will buy one. This one was marked $15.00. No way I would pay that.
This morning before work I made a small pot of ham and bean soup. I threw some broth in a small pot and added some celery and bay leaf. The celery softened up while I jumped in the shower. I threw in a large can of Great Northern beans and some ham. I ended up with two quarts and I will have some of that for lunch today. I have plenty of broth and ham for another big batch.
The backing came for the t-shirt quilt.
