Jeanie..it sounds like you've got some great plans ahead of you..bummer about the travel machine...here we worry about the cold and how it could harm a machine!
Are you following the BH color guidelines? From what I see it's going to be a pretty quilt.
Yesterday I pulled out another UFO...HST blocks to make a strippy quilt. I started it about 10 years ago..yikes..Need to make 3 more blocks, cut setting triangles and setting strips. It's next on my list to complete! Work is calling...
