Finished and almost finished....



So I finally finished my free piecing winter quilt for Tonya's class. I was just in an after Christmas funk ,I guess. I have done a little quilting but not really blogged about it. I made a baby quilt last weekend for Melissa from work, which I did not even get a picture of . Oh well, I have another one to make soon too-Ashley from work invited me to her shower which is in a few weeks so I will need to make one for her too-not fair to make one for one co-worker and not another? Why did I get myself in this mess-there are probably 3 others at work who are pregnant! I won't make all of them a quilt though, but probably one more.

I got Patrick's pirate quilt almost done. I intend to get the binding done today. Then it will be done. I put his name in pieced letters on the back which I thought would be fun. This was a fairly easy quilt as it was just a yellow brick road pattern. But for some reason took a while to get motivated to do. I guess I liked all the pirate fabrics I had but when I put them all together I wasn't as crazy about them. The blues don't exactly match but I guess as a whole it's kinda cute since it has the theme going. I'm sure he'll like it-he's only four he doesn't know how to match colors! So after finishing this quilt and Ashley's baby quilt I should attack some UFOs before I start anything new. Although Bonnie is doing a super bowl bargello I am sort of interested in trying. Do I really want to start a new project? I really like starting new projects, they just don't all get finished.....
