Quilting

I know I have 2 quilts partially cut out already, and one baby quilt almost finished.

But here I am staring something new. But I say this isn't so bad. Not nearly as bad as I am with knitting ;) The baby blanket only needs 1 1/3 more edges sewn shut and the center tied off. VERY simple! The other 2 quilts got put away and I can't remember where....

So! I have 5 sets of matching charm packs. Enough for a twin size quilt top I think. There are 20 fabrics in it. I want to make a 9 patch variation. I just need to decide on the center. Up close, pretty hard. From across the room I am thinking the green. I hope I am right. There are no extras. Here is a picture of them all together.

It's Quilting Time!

I haven't done a quilt since we moved back to the states in high school. It was a pin wheel wall quilt that mom and my sister and I did together.

I am going to do the Joseph's Coat Quilt in scrappy greens. I'm thinking a beige cream for the background. Phillip wants brown or tan, but I am thinking that may be too dark. We'll see... I am still collecting greens. I think I am up to 1.5 yards or so of the 4.5 yards needed.

I've cut my 1st template ever. I think I bought the wrong kind. It was the thicker one. I think for this project the thinner template plastic would have been a better choice.

I also have 2 dresses cut out and ready to sew up for the summer. Can't wait!
