Happy days ahead in your near future - they are beautiful!
I have found though, after all layering and quilting and after the forgotten things were taken care of (missed appliquéing on the horse's eyes and nostrils, the doll quilt's fmq flower needed more petals) that it's a time to straighten up the quilting room--get all the fabric back in place, pins in containers, and even the sewing machine dusted and oiled. And it's kind of nice to quietly sew bindings on in the evenings after spending the day with 24 10-11 year old and finishing chores. It feels like a kind of regrouping/recharging before I start making tops again. And what great anticipation it is to know they're all right there for me to dive into.

Let's see, there's the Bargello, and there's more floral log cabin projects, and the quilt I want to design with some horse batiks that were a gift, and the "Back to Nature" with the Modas, and the blue and white appliqué idea.... lots to do, lots to do!!! :-D
