T.C.B.

I managed to get this quilt top sewed together. A few snags with squares not being the right size. I should always make notes if I am going to "set aside" a project. I remembered that there had been a problem - simple to fix, but I didn't figure it until I was a little far and had to rip out almost 3 rows. Once I got that resolved and finished the piecing I set it aside for about a week just to work myself up to pinning the whole thing together. It went well, both times. Yup, the first time the back was not straight, and because it is so close to the width I need, there was no room for that kind of a mistake. So, I unpinned it, straightened it and re-pinned. (quite an accomplishment when you are 8 months pregnant!) Now it is ready for machine quilting. Now I can set it aside again!

I also had to get a pic of the little baby blanket I have been working on. I'm about 3 rows from the half way point. I think it is turning out really cute. Thanks to my hubby for advising me on how to arrange the stripes. It is pretty sweet to have a guy around with such a great eye!
