A Progress Report...

...the borders have been added to DD's newest Cheese and Crackers quilt.  It finishes at 81 x 87 prior to quilting.  I'm waiting on batting not sure when it will arrive as it is shipping from Waco, Texas.  I also need to order backing fabric for it...

WIP Wednesday

I finished the inside and first border (not shown) on DD's bed quilt.  Next step is piecing the outer borders...big fun!  :)

Slow Progress...

...not exactly sure *why* but my progress in the sewing room is very slow.  :(

seems like I spend loads of time looking and printing quilt inspirations but not creating.  :(

When DD changed her room colors last year~she asked for another Cheese and Crackers quilt.  Her first one was in blues/ cream and this one is purples/green.  The green doesn't really *match* her room but she said, "Just make it MOM!".  I have the blocks all made and need to sew in the spacers.  Once the center of the quit is done then I can start on the pieced border.  This pattern from Terry Atkinson is one that doesn't have piecing instruction for a full bed~figures right?  but I'm doing the math and slowly figuring it out....
