    Yesterday I made 6 blocks for the 365 day challenge.

    Weekend sewing plans:

    1. Make at least 10 more blocks for the challenge. (I fell behind and now I need to play catch up.)

    2. Assemble tomorrow's HST challenge block

    3. Cut enough HST's for the remaining HST challenge blocks

    4. Prioritize my UFO's

    A special thanks to everyone for sharing pictures of your projects.

    A fidget quilt is a small quilt that keeps the hands busy for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. Easy to make, I used flannel for batting so it's light and anything can be added to it. Just make sure it's attached well, and can be washed.

    Retired you are better at keeping up with the 365 I have most of February to do. If I get time I might sneak a few in.

    I'm in--spend all day yesterday with Guild meetings, working on the guild newsletter--so no actual sewing but does that count? then today I've spend about 9 hrs total putting together the top--first ever set on point! yea! It worked!. Would take a pictures but I can't get off the sofa now! Tomorrow I teach sashings, borders, binding for the last beginner class and can't wait to be finished--great class of men and women and they have been the hardest workers-but we've been meeting Saturdays from mid-Jan. and I' needing a change of pace. And really need to get a quilt on the long arm!

    I'm in, I'm hoping to get a set of 6 placemats quilted and bound this weekend. If it rains, then maybe start a scrappy quilt as well. We went to a karaoke party last night, it was painful listening to people sing horribly off-key, 3 hours of my life I'll never get back... Never again.

    You're off to a great start Heather! The colour combinations in the second quilt really appeal to me.

    I always enjoy these VQWs and enjoy seeing what others are working on... Here are mine:

    The first is a scrappy snowball and 9 patch. I hope to quilt it so that the scrappy "stars" stand out and the black/white background recedes.

    The second photo shows a Kaffe Fassett quilt I just cut out. It's very simple HSTs and a couple of QSTs. I just love those fabrics!

    I started a new quilt full of largish batiks and a few prints tonight.

    I think I want to get out my seam ripper and move the big yellow fish closer to the top so he'll be near the center of the bed when finished.
