    I’m working on two table runners this weekend. I’m making one for the April to June swap and decided to try to double the blocks as I work so I can have a twin to keep for myself.

    Artsyone- I like that a lot. Youkve got most of your big elements chosen and once you’ve decided for sure where you want them to land on the quilt all you will need are the filler strips to make it all fit. Have you been taking photos each time you rearrange it? That's always helpful for me. Also when you take pics of an arrangement be sure to use the edit feature to put them in monochrome so you can clearly see any place that might need lighter or darker values- that’s another trick that has helped me when I’m being stuck.

    Krisb, would love to see your Dance of the Dragonflies. I bought the pattern and fabric, and it's at the top of my "next in line" list. I traced out the pattern for the templates. I'm planning on doing mine sort of reverse applique in that I want the black wing lacing to be on top. I wanted to do turned edge, but think I'll go with raw edge because I think the turned edge is going to be above my level at this time. Or at least with a project that is extensive with inside corners.


    I have my first quilt loaded on the frame. Have to put in four hours of office work, then I'm off until next Tuesday! I counted up, and currently have 19 tops ready to quilt, but about 1/3 are small, and I don't think I have any King size in this bunch. Though I know I've got a couple of large queens. I do have two kings waiting for binding . . .

    I'm glad to say I just finished quilting 2 over sized lap quilts using the Arcadia PP pattern. I recently acquired the IQ for my Innova machine so I had to learn how to use it first. The youtube videos were a great help to me beforehand so I had an idea how to use it but once I started using it all that I had viewed had flown out of my head so had to go back to the videos from time to time. Of course trying the IQ with this pattern was not a great idea but I needed to get it done by this weekend. I'm binding the last one right now.

    Think I might take the weekend off......................nawwwwwwwwww. I'll get started on the next quilt to be quilted for a friend down in Florida. I'm loving the IQ (IntelliQuilter robotics). Have about 8 quilts waiting to be quilted so I've got my agenda marked out for me. Now back to hand binding.

    I am in! This board is going to keep me quilting til I draw my last breath! I am working on a 'wonky house' wall hanging - inspired by a picture of a quilt here on the board. I am also working on a jellyroll rug quilt - a project also inspired by a photo here on the board.
    I have to stop looking at pictures... (I saw a sunbonnet sue that has me scheming...)

    Sorry about the double picture, it must have been a photobucket problem because now two are showing up!

    trisher, I'm with you about needing to stop looking at pictures. I see so many that give me ideas and I want to dump what I'm currently working on and jump into another project. I like to share pictures because I get so much inspiration from looking at what others are doing and want to share back.

    I am in. I cleaned my sewing room this week before the nice weather set in so I'm ready. Always start an Honor Flight Quilt around this time if year to deliver to my guild in Sept( The Honor Flights are sometime in the Fall). Participants are gifted with the lap quilts during their journey to see the National War Monuments. Also working on scrappy quilt blocks in several sizes for a pattern I found in Irish Quilting Magazine several years ago.

    I hear you! My cats don't believe I can quilt properly without their assistance

I could get more cut if my cat got off my cutting mats. In between that I will work on a small UFO, and quilt a small baby quilt. I’ll check in off and on throughout the weekend.
