    I think flannel is ALWAYS good in a baby quilt - so cuddly and soft! And I think it kind of ties in with the whole pjs theme you've got goin' on. :wink: :D
    Oooh, you're right, K! It is a good thing to post these progress reports, huh? I just may need to go out and buy more flannel that looks more like pajamas! You are my muse, k3n!

    Beautiful embroidery Ducky -- they make me smile :D

    What are you using for stabilizer? The squares look so nice and flat?

    Crap, I was hoping, at least can you do it for the next two quilts? They have to be done before the 21st, parents are leaving that day and I hope to send 4 of them back with them and save the mailing before Christmas! :shock:

    Do Warm Wishes or D9P. They're really quick! Or a cheaters panel - check out mpspeedy's Baltimore, it's really effective. :D

    I did the D9P already on the first, and yes I will be posting pics of it. Just need to do the binding on it, fun kid prints went into it for a 6 year old boy, then I need one for a 18 year old boy and one for my sister and husband, I will post the fabric for it that I have to put into it, he is a fireman in Vancouver, I was actually eyeballing some large stars for the 18 year old. and the D9P I did my origional strips at 6 inches, big big blocks. Then amma made fun of me as I couldn't seem to do two quilts in a row with big pieces! :oops:

    I'm using the medium tear-away stabilizer. AND, I learned a very important lesson after the first two. Only press the area around the animals. I layed a heavier fabric over the first two and pressed directly on top and now I have ripples around the design. I think (hope) I can make them taut enough to flatten them out again.
