Now that winter is waning (but not gone by a long shot), I find it necessary to assess what I have to work on before I start anything new. Here's what I'm thinking about.
Job 1: Susan and Arjan's baby quilt. The baby is due June 6 and will take up to 6 weeks to get to the Netherlands. Top is ready for sandwiching and quilting. I have pre-washed some lovely red polka dotted flannel for the back.
2. Dear Jane - I'm ready to start Row F or put blocks together to begin quilting Rows A-E QAYG style. Decisions, decisions! I have some charcoal grunge for sashing. Here's Row E.
3. Log cabin swap - I have all the pieces for 16 8.5" blocks cut and can start putting them all together. I decided to use the 9 Manx blocks I have for the center of the quilt and surround them with the blocks I receive in the swap.
5. Knitted wave scarf - It's getting long and looking good. It's almost time to change color combinations again. I knit while watching TV on gloomy days (which we seem to have a lot of lately).
6. Sweet Tea and Green Beans (Jen Kingwell) - I finished the 8 orange peel blocks on vacation and now have the hexies to put together into a block. This is portable so I'll take it to guild on Saturday. I have a long way to go on this quilt, but I'm enjoying the variety so far.
7. There are several other projects on the back burner, including two quilt tops finished last year and the guild blocks of the month I won in January. Should these become four table runners for gifts? Stay tuned!
