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 have two tops I made and two a friend made that I need to quilt on my DSM this weekend so I can turn them in for guild charity collection next week. I doubt I can finsh all four, but hope I can get three done by sandwiching tomorrow night and having Friday off.

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.
