Ta Da

I finished another baby quilt this morning.
 My color inspiration came from the butterfly fabric on the back.  I bought it at the quilt show, and set it aside for a baby born last week.  The quilt is much PINKER than I expected.  But it's done, so I'm happy.
 Does anyone else piece batting scraps together?  When I do, I can get 4 baby quilts from one queen-sized batt.
 I don't do this for show quilts or wall quilts, just baby quilts that are going to be washed and used again and again and again.
I've set this week aside for a personal quilt retreat.  Goals are good, though I didn't do much on my big list today.  Instead, I spent hours sewing together squares of denim.  My son asked me to do this months ago, and after sewing 4 or 5 seams, I lost interest. I decided that I really do need the floor space, so the denim is now in one piece and headed back to his house in the morning.

Tomorrow, I've got one more guilt project to work on before I can focus on the quilts I wanted to work on this week.  I may not be working on them yet, but I'm getting ready.
 With a sort of cleaned off quilting surface, and a definitely cleaned off ironing board, I'm ready to hit it again in the morning.
Goals are good!

Goals are good. Even if I don't complete them all, I can put a dent in my list. Enjoy your personal retreat--sounds wonderful!!!
