Progress, Progress, Progress

I have cut out the fabric for the Gift Block quilt for my friend.  The shower is Sunday, but I have to work, so I cannot attend.  I should be able to have the quilt completed by then because I am finished with my previous class.  I am not taking anymore classes until June, so I should have time to complete some projects.  Anyway, the blocks are 1/2 complete.  They are squares with prairie points on them, and I have pinned all of the prairie points to the blocks and the rectangle that frames the top and bottoms of the squares.

I have purchased more fabric for the Husker quilt, and have thought about it, but no more progress has been made.

I completed tracing 2 more blocks for my Baltimore Album quilt, but it has been languishing while I work on the baby quilt.

The sampler is coming along, I have almost completed 1/3 of the blocks.  They are not moving away until August, so I have some time.  Plus, I haven't seen them since before the wedding, anyway.

On President's Day, I cut out the Magoo monkey pattern by Melly & Me.  There were things I would have preferred to do differently, but I was on a time crunch. My niece really liked it, and I hope the arms & legs hold up to a 2 year-old's beating.  I had to attach them by hand, and was a little scared.  So far, though, it has held up.

I am heading to KC for the greater Kansas City Quilt Shop Hop, so I am pretty excited about that.  There are a couple of pieces of fabric I am looking for, plus I think I will look for some 30's fabric to finish some Dresden Plate blocks that my great-grandmother started.  The only thing I am not excited about with that project is she did them by hand.  I am thinking since I will make a runner out of them, she had 3 blocks, so I'll finish a 4th and maybe do a 5th on my own, and lay them on point.  I have to dig them out of storage and will decide after refreshing my memory of what they look like.

I feel I have been slacking on projects, but I have been working on them slowly but surely.  Having completed my class will help.  I have several goals of projects to complete, and finishing the baby quilt and the sampler will help me feel accomplished.

Until later,
