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!

Angela's quilt tops

A couple more completed.



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.
