Catching up on my quilting

March is here!

It came in like a lamb and 

here's hoping it goes out like a lamb too!

The temperatures have been in the upper 40's to high 50's.

not bad for March in Cleveland, Ohio!

Joe is doing very well with his recovery from surgery,

couldn't ask for any better.

.....

I have been doing some sewing, of course! :)

I ordered and received the blue backing for Maria's quilt.

I just have to iron everything and get it to the shop to get it 

quilted.

.....

I have made 20 of the blocks for the boys quilts,

this is what it will look like when done,

I don't know where I saved this photo, so I can't give 

credit to who ever made this quilt. It is really pretty!

I think the boys will like this design. (hope they don't read my blog!!)

I have some special fabric for the backings, a pattern to fit each boy.

More on that later.

.....

I have also been working on the hexagon quilt whenever I get a chance.

It is coming along pretty well. I am aiming for it to be a twin size quilt.

This is just a part of what I have done, I just don't have a photo of it yet.

Will get that taken soon.

I have made lots of hexagons and I store them in used

Crystal Light container. We have lots of them and I store so many

things in them! I have 100 hexagons in each container.

This one is full of my white hexagons, they stay nice and flat and clean, so they

are ready to go.

I also store extra needles in one and I put the trimmings and cut threads in one

 for my kit that I carry all over the house. 

.....

One thing I need to do is to finish up the space rocket quilt I started

last year. 

I fell in love with this when I saw it in

Quiltmaker. I had to collect lots of blues for it, then when

I was done I found a great print for a border

and backing.

I haven't been too happy with the appliqué I did for the flame and 

that's what is holding me up on this quilt. I'm not sure if I will do it

over again or not. I want it perfect! :)

Well, enough for now, I guess I'm trying to catch you up on

what I've been doing for the last year!
