1. Clothing items - too many to list...

2. QAYG - toddler-sized quilt. Started it in a quilt class before Kid #2 (now 5 years old) was conceived. The blocks are all made and squared, but I hate the handsewing in the pattern to attach the sashing. Each row is complete, but I need to make the time to machine stitch the rows together with sashing so that I can do the handsewing while watching TV. Then I'll have to bind it. On one side, the print is a white background with vibrant colored animals, and the accent colors are turquoise and purple. On the other, the print is primary colored dinosaurs on a black background, and the accent colors are orange and green. The sashing/binding is all a grass green. If I finish it someday, it might go to my DB's expected baby.

3. Currently intended project - have fabric but haven't started. I'm going to make sampler wall quilts for my sewing room. I have blocks chosen and just need to get started. These colors are greens and purples to coordinate with the wall colors and hopefully tie it all together. The sashing will be a white tone on tone paw print, and the background for the blocks is a kind of seafoam color. The pieces will be scrappy - a mix of FQ prints I picked out by taking paint cards into the LQS. I think I have about $40 into the project so far. Not sure how much this fabric will make. I want to make a 2x3 wall quilt of 18-inch blocks to start, then probably 2-2x2 or 2x3 wall quilts of 12-inch blocks to go on either side. Eventually I'll also make one or two 24-inch blocks to be single block wall hangings.....

4. Won't get into everything that's intended after that!

As for the label, I don't think I'll label the QAYG quilt, because it's reversible and I'm not sure where to put a label. But I'll put a label on my wall quilts, including my name and the blocks included. Maybe the date. Not sure yet.
