I got a new cabinet for my fabrics, spent a week folding and organizing fabrics. This week I am going to piece a baby quilt, I have the strips cut out, I hope to start quilting it this coming weekend. I'll see how far I get on it.

I finished my quilt for kids quilt today!!!!:-D
Started the one dd sent me, boy did it have some strange sizes to cut, never did cuts in 16ths before. Had to hunt for a ruler that had 16th on it.
Don't think this one will take long.

I'm trying to trapunto. I'm having lots of problems and no success yet. But there are still a few days left to the week. The last one I tried a clear foot with a spring on it. I had no idea what it would do. It pops up after each stitch. I'm sure it's very useful if I knew what I was doing. But I don't so I'll have to end up throwing that block away and cutting a new one. There is no way I can rip out those stitches. They are tiny.But I haven't given up yet.

I did check out the tutorial thank you for mentioning it. I'm sure I'll try again. That is if I stop ripping out the trapunto. Who knew it was such a pain to do.

Well life got in the way of my goals! I did get dd's quilt finished and all but 2 rows of ds's quilt done. So for this coming week since it may very well be a bad week I'm going to go very easy on myself. Finish ds's top and get the backing for it.
