UFO progress??

Well, it's the last day of March and I only got 11 of the 80 blocks done of my ufo.  So must think positive and I'm 14% done with the top instead of 0%.  Just a bit better than February's UFO where I only appliqued down a flower and 2 leaves.  Wonder what Vince is going to pull from the hat for April?

Borders are being added on Fabric Tuesday

My quilt-along quilt is growing.  Three sides of border nearly done.  Measure in center of quilt to cut the borders.  This is the first time I used this low loft Fairfield batting and it has scrunched up the quilt more than with warm and natural upon quilting, so I have to ease in a bit on this third border.  I'll just stretch the quilt a tad to match them.  Gonna be pretty pink - love it. I use to say I didn't like pink, but since it's a different shade of red (at least to me it is) that what's not to like!

Design Wall Monday 3/28/11

Here's what's on my wall:
One lone scrappy block for our guild's April BOM. A member signs up to be the BOM Queen and picks a pattern for us to make and bring to the meeting.  They are counted and divided into stacks - ie 9 per stack, 12, etc - depends how many are turned in.  Each person who brings one has a chance to win a stack.  A great way to have a quilt to make in a hurry - or have orphan blocks - depends on how you look at it -LOL.  This year we're doing scrappy ones - I like that.  You can see the directions by Janet Wickell here.
