I seem to have a million quilts in the works right now.

Ginger Blossom.  Being pieced.

Joel Dewberry #1.  Pinned and waiting to be quilted.

Joel Dewberry #2.  Piecing done and waiting for pins.  Wow, that’s a bad picture.

Decadent Victorian #1 and #2.  This quilt was originally going to be for me but while I was doing the math so I could buy the backing I realized that I had made so many blocks it was going to be queen sized.  So I redid my math and it’s now 2 laps sized quilts, one for me and one for the store.   Piecing is almost done and then I need to sew the blocks together.  I ordered the backing last week.

I picked up some cool baskets this weekend to help store these two projects.  On the left is Baby Jane.  I’m (I think) 11 blocks behind and Friday is officially my Baby Jane block workday.  On the right is Maeve’s and Saturday is my workday for that.  These are such long-term projects that they really do have to be scheduled into the week or they are never going to get done.  When I get caught up with my Jane blocks, maybe I’ll spend the extra Friday time on Maeve’s cause that thing is going to take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to make.

And I have two new quilt categories… in progress and completed.  I should have separated them a long time ago because now it’s just a disaster in the ‘Quilt’ category.  I’ll slowly work through reorganizing them so the old category will stick around until I finish.

Other quilts on my to-do list include more Dick and Jane, Aliens, more Freshcut, a Christmas quilt for us, binding the quilt for our bedroom, etc, etc, etc.
