    I have a scrappy jewel box quilt in the quilting machine and I'm working on a wall-hanging of a sea turtle. All applique and fussy, fussy work. So I divide up my time.

    A queen size quilt for my best bud at work it has over 800 1/2 square triangle 2 inch squares. I used something like triangles on a roll for it. he chose the pattern out of a book we found together at the thrift store last year when we were in the community with our students. I chose the Shimmering Frost -blue selection from Connecting Threads for it. The wedding is May 26th so I wanted to give myself lots of time It will have 63 blocks all totaled and then a small pieced border and then a regular border.

    I'm working my way through Elly Sienkiewicz's Baltimore Elegance blocks. Today is sawtooth day. But let's not talk about that...

    Right now I'm working on my 3rd string quilt for our church's graduates.we have to make 11. 2 haven't even been started yet, 5 are completed and the rest are in various stages of completion. There are only a few of us working on them
    The other things I'm working on- things to make for our groups' vendor table at the annual Ladies Retreat for our church. Proceeds go to pay for batting for the quilts.
    A 50's dress for the school play and a baby quilt before May 4th. Neither of which has been started yet. Yikes!

    I am piecing the top of a Diamond Jubilee Bargello. There are more than 700 separate strips in the top. It seems crazy to me. I just had to buy a pack of 1000 pins to label each fabric strip. Who has room to lay out 108 rows where each row has up to 9 different pieces? This is nuts! (But I am kinda loving it). [h=3][/h]

    I am working on Jenny Doan's "Falling Charms". It is made with 4 charm packs and a little more than 1 white jelly roll. I needed a pattern that would be quick to make as I am making the quilt for one of my daughter's foster children. This turned out to be a great choice as I can finish the top in 3 days. Also, I like the way the top looks and I think the child will like it also.

    I'm on my "retirement" trip, so I have lots of time to just dream as I hand appliqué a red on white Hawaiin quilt top..queen size. When I get home I'm going to ( gasp) machine echo quilt it...don't tell the quilt police!
