Tuesday To-Do #11: Baby Quilt Tops Finished

Happy spring!

It's another rainy morning and as I look around

from not-my-usual-table, I'm thinking everyone

here had the same idea:

It's a good morning to hit the coffee shop.

Someone even took "my" table.  The nerve!

(I'm kidding.)

Hmm, maybe that's a little nudge?

It is a new season.  Have I grown a little

too comfortable with anything?

Fabric, colors, styles, quilting....

Well, I did step out of my comfort zone last month

to paper piece all those snowflakes!  No I'm not

going to launch another whine-session about it

but it's a nice segway into today's list.

Snowflakes, aka Christmas Flurries

Finish quilting.

Done.

The Snowflakes are quilted and off the frame.

I think I'll go with Christmas Flurries for the name

unless a better one hits by the time I make the label.

(I'll get better pic upon when it's completely done.)

Charity Baby Quilts

Finish quilt #2 top.

Done.

I already had this into rows so this was easy to

check off.  Next Mount Scrap Batting did a great

job in setting me up nicely for both quilts. 

The backings were then prepped...

Hmm, was that momentum building?

I only planned to get the first one loaded up

yesterday but I guess I was just in my zone.

Suddenly, it was quilted, rolled off and

the second one was on and ready to go.

Wow, baby quilts go so quickly!

So quickly that in no time the second baby

quilt joined the pile.  What a day!

I'm positively giddy to be finished with items

I thought I'd be putting on today's list!

HST's

I stitched up trimmings from baby quilt #2 to make

a mere 30 HSTs;  no progress on anything else.

Gardening

It's a lake out there!  I'm thinking it'll be well

into April before anything else gets planted.

Up until yesterday I was feeling like I still had not

come out of my post-holiday slow-mo rut.

I was even going to blame it on the rain.

Yes, the rain that actually set the stage for my

awesome quilty-packed day.  I work well enough

with my own to-do lists but I have never liked

deadlines set by others.  As a consequence I try

to start those things early.  Thankfully, I did that

this time and now with my big jump, certainly

I'll be finished by next Wednesday--or earlier.

Maybe the sew-jo is finally picking up!

Snowflakes

Label and bind / completely finish.

Charity Baby Quilts

Label and bind both; submit.

Top priority!

HSTs

Maybe?

Gardening

Nothing to do but watch the rain.

A last word on comfort zones...it's good to step

out occasionally but that doesn't mean we have

to stay out.  Maybe things were just fine before.

Truthfully I don't like this table, or its view,

(anymore than I like paper piecing!) and I'll be 

fighting for my regular table next time.

Maybe I should just order up a little sign?

Happy quilting!
