2014 Totals - March and April


I began a Dancing 9's quilt in mid-march and am making some progress. I had cut strips from one sleeve of each shirt and have enough 9patches for 2.5 rows of blocks and the border strips.  I cut the rest of the sleeves and shirt fronts into strips and have more 9patches made and ready to assemble into blocks.  I'll have some free sewing time then end of May and hopefully will get this done.

I've loaded the first of 3 large custom quilts on my quilter to work on. The first is donkeys, then comes birdhouses and lastly is a starburst.  Custom work always takes me longer so this month I will not finish as many quilts as normal.
