My boost of energy that arrived with the new year is paying off. I have been organizing all the clipped articles I've been saving for years, pictures of quilts, how-to's, etc into binders. Tuesday night I started cutting scraps and small pieces into shapes I can actually use somehow. While going through fabric stacks I ran across some fabric I have wanted to use in a "Cracker" baby quilt for a long time. Yesterday I finished the Cracker Baby quilt top! It's foundation paper pieced 6" blocks = 36 X 36. I "found" about 7 mini-quilts that need finished - sewed the binding on one today and will finish it by hand tonight. Oh yes, I finished quilting and binding a star mini-quilt last night.
Can't wait to get started again tomorrow!
We are a group of quilters in the Hatfield area. We meet on Tuesday's at the First Baptist Church in Hatfield from 6:00 - 8:00 come sew with us.

Completed Baby Bricks Top
See, I really did finish my Stacked Baby Bricks Top. The blue panels stand out a little more than I expected but I'm okay with it. It's 78" X 94" and there are 44 baby bricks in each stack.
I've spent a couple of days working on my "Farmer's Wife" blocks. I think it's going to be a much smaller project than I originally intended.
Today I picked through some of my smaller pieces of fabric and selected quite a few to take to Tuesday night quilting. There I am going to cut them into squares and strips. Since I sometimes make miniature quilts, it's pretty hard to cut up some of these smaller pieces. But most of these textures and/or scale won't work for mini quilts anyway.
