I know it's a small picture. Maybe when I return from my trip I will work on resizing it. The blocks are approximately 8.5" x 8.5". The final quilt ended up being around 42.5" x 52". I really like how it turned out. One thing I learned from this though, is that pins are my friend and I can make my sewing machine go slower when quilting large X's on squares of fabric.

It's Done!!!!
I finished the 1st baby quilt on Thursday of last week. I had help from my dad taking pictures of it Saturday evening. I really like how it turned out, but it is huge! I obviously need help determining sizes of quilts. I'm going to make another rag quilt for a coworker, but I'm hoping I can start it Saturday and finish it Wednesday, so I can wash it and give it to them before we leave next Friday. I have determined my vacation project, I think. I'm hoping to work on some Precious Moments Children of the World cross stitch. I have been working on it since I was a senior in high school. I think I have about 5 blocks done with about 8 to go. Some are in various stages of completion. I will try to post some pictures before I go, but no guarantees. I have been doing the PM blocks on muslin with waste canvas. I hope I have enough waste canvas. I know it is still available, but I don't recall which count I was using. I have also started "collecting" civil war reproduction prints for either a Dear Jane quilt or to use with the Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt. I haven't decided which I will be using. I kind of just like the idea of doing a bunch of little quilt squares.
