I plan on making headway on my Bonnie Hunter Frolic. I have started the assembly which will be a challenge for me as this is on point!!! I have a lot of trouble with on point quilts--I know it is not difficult but it is for me and this one has lots of parts to make a row!! Wish me luck. Hope to have my sanity when done. After the center section the borders will be a challenge too!

I have only 2 blocks to go on the Drunkards Path I am working on then sew together the top! That will be the first project. Next it is back to the 2 1/2" strips batik quilt that I have almost finished. It got put on hold to make mask. Now mind you both of these are dependent on mask making. I have made over 250 as of now and am still getting a few orders here and there but things have slowed down a great deal. I am so looking forward to the VQW!! It is time to just have some fun!

Count me in! I'm 11 out of 25 blocks into piecing a scrappy Irish Chain and I'm longarming a friend's horse quilt. Always enough to keep me busy and I keep making masks as I get the fabrics laundered. Won't it be great when we don't feel like we need to make masks anymore?

So there I was, zipping together those Rail Fence blocks when the replacement vintage pedal I got started making rather alarming crackling noises... no smoke, don't smell ozone, it isn't hot to touch but I am keeping it unplugged for now. Shop will be open again on Tuesday -- so after this break and cup of coffee it's back to the Brother for me.

I wonder if I can strap it to the table with some blue tape... that might improve the experience. I already do have a cling mat under it which was a big improvement from just being on the table.

Working on sandwiching and binding an Honor Flight Quilt I assembled in March. It's a string quilt. Not sure any of these events will happen this year but trying to stay positive. Also doing some hand embroidery and working on a Laura Heine collage quilt (the small be. I also think the next quilt should be for me. I usually give everything away.

I will work this afternoon doing some big stitch quilting on a wallhanging that is the last musical Row by Row from a few years back. Always enjoy seeing what others are working on.

Adorable blocks "quiltingVagabond". Love the colorful fabrics and I can't believe how tiny your blocks are and you did such an amazing job on them.

Finally felt like starting a new quilt, so began one that I think I saw someone on here did called "Whirligig". I was humming along, thinking this was going OK...only 20 blocks, no problem, when I realized that each block was made up of 4 blocks. That's suddenly 80 blocks. Time to read the pattern a little more closely!
Considering each block is taking me about 20 minutes just to cut out, this could come to a screeching halt.

In other news, I'm going to try to put the binding on my 5 years' old UFO.

Ok! Got the rail fence quilt done. Still need one seam on the back and to make the binding, they are both the same Peter Pan print as the border.

So the first picture shows the row of blocks I added -- and how I had that silly mushroom fabric in my stash. I bought a bag of scraps with that piece in there from Value Village because I also have it in red background. I bought this top months and miles apart. Some of the other fabrics are also in the quilt, and then some go with themes like I had some fishing hooks, there are a couple different fishing related fabrics in there too.

I actually put that row on the top (which is why it doesn't line up properly where it is because all of the mushroom fabric was down in that half of the quilt.

edit: My added row is the top of the bordered quilt.
