I'm working on the Pam Buda Circa 1880 Club quilt. It is a block-of-the-month type subscription for one year, that is the only way you can get the pattern and the templates. I started making the teeny tiny blocks in May and have most of the 500+ 2 1/2 inch blocks finished. Now I'm working on assembling them into units and then to strips and eventually into a quilt. There is a lot of potential for fussy-cutting so I have a few mixed in with the standard blocks. I want to make a couple of tiny embroidered blocks to mix in with the pieced ones. Plenty of steps to keep me busy this weekend! (The first picture is sideways - sorry!)

I'm working on sewing together 200-odd blocks of batiks for a queen quilt, which I have laid out on the ping-pong table. You can just see the extra rows laid out on the floor that wouldn't fit on the table.
I have collected batiks for so long, I figured it was time to do something with them!
I wanted an easy, straightforward quilt to do. This should keep me busy for awhile.

Thank you! I know at least one other person on the forum is working on their version and she is way closer to being done. I have never worked with such small blocks before, and this project has really forced me to be super-careful about accurate seams and cutting. I will be a much better quilter by the time this is finished.

Wow, there is some serious quilting going on today! I continued working on quilting and binding. I should have the pile done by the end of the weekend if I keep on track. Let's hope I stay focused!

Got the baby quilt bound, therefore finished, and it is in the wash as I type. Tomorrow is supposed to be a beautiful day, so I will try to photograph it to post. Not complicated, but very sweet.
