Finished Block and Top

I have been working on WIPs. In fact this one below is four years old, just hadn't done anything with it.  It was only yardage when I was gifted it. Now it's quilted and bound.

and off to the Mommy & Me Clinic for a newborn.

The yardage was squares serged together. This wouldn't have been a problem except the white squares are chenille and it's very difficult to quilt through those corners.  Thus the simple quilting on this top. The batting said it could be quilted up to 8" apart, so I'm okay there. For a change, the cotton fabric is the back and the flannel is the top, but baby's mom can use whichever side she wants up. Measures 36 by 42".

As for my finished RSC 2018 March block - we were to use green.  I had a green piece with pink and some baby pink print, so that's what I used.

When I got it all done, the pink subdued the center green so much, maybe I should call this the pink block - lol.

Have a quilty weekend. It's gently raining here. We are blessed.

Late Thursday Report

Today was such a busy day! I meant to post for "I Like Thursdays" yesterday but was too busy getting ready for today!

So while we have cold mornings, the days continue to get warm for we have low 70s in the afternoon. We're back to lovely blue skies and clouds in the distance.

And from the garden - a couple of weeks ago I sent some pomelos to a few of our out of state family.  DGS#3's mom sent me this great photo: The pomelo is a grandparent of the grapefruit.  They may look like grapefruits, but they aren't acidic - they're sweet and so tasty. While they look large - they have a large rind.  One has to work to get to the yummy fruit, but it's worth it. This year we had a bumper crop.  Last year, there were only about 9-12 of them.

Hope you get to quilt this weekend.  Stay warm and safe those of you back East.

Some of This; Some of That

First the stash report:  used .18 yd to make my block for Unit 2 of SLOL.  Then used 1.92 yds for a back of a baby quilt, a border and binding.  Lastly, I donated 1.5 yds to the guild. This brings me to 3.42 yds destashed this week, and a YTD total of 12.67 yds out.  Lots closer to the 18 yds I should be at so far. I'm happy.  

My goals for this week is start working on my Love Entwined (the UFO I'm to work on this month).
Here's where I'm at:
I'll be working on the upper right basket first.  If I get one basket done this month I'll be happy.

I'm appliqueing another Anna's Garden block - this time I'm stitching as I watch The Great British Baking Show.  Ah, the trials these bakers endure.  Made me want to bake. I made some brownies - nothing fancy - hehe. 

And again my design wall is empty as I work on WIPs instead.  Although this top is waiting to be quilted:

I'm finding it's good to hang tops to a hanger with the back also attached there. You can see a teeny bit of the back by the left clothes pin.  Keeps them from getting wrinkled and in sight, so I don't forget them.  I'm linking to Oh Scrap!, Sunday Stash, Slow Sunday Stitching and Design Wall Monday.  And my linky party from Friday is still open for English paper pieces - go to last Friday's post. Good luck.

I hope you get to quilt this week.  Blessings!
