I have been working on 3 other quilts myself, 2 of them have been ongoing for a while

Yesterday I heard that a young man 22 yrs, who has a 8 month old son just lost his job. I have knowing him for 7 yrs or so when I was working as the city librarian. I decided to make him( the father) a cheerful quilt to give his son for Christmas, a very colorful jelly roll race with blocks of Ispy type fabric in between. Almost finished with that one.

I have about 10 in various stages of completion, am desperate to finish the one by Sunday, but actually "working" on a specific one (other then the wedding one) no.

But who knows? Maybe those with plainer or more consistent neutrals will be happiest in the end. I chose what I thought best complimented each individual red, and I ended up with a very motley bunch that I can't quite imagine living harmoniously together in the same quilt. But it is an easy seam to take out, if we have regrets after learning more. Bonnie's quilts seem to turn out well with a very wide range of fabric choices.

Those are great colors.. I've sorted but have to finish some other projects before I start anything new. So, it's after the new year for me.

Ps: Shari love your HST postage stamp quilt-----you have WAY more patience than me!!!

I'm away from home but I brought a hand quilting project with me. And when I get home I plan to sandwich another wedding gift quilt and hand quilt it. I really didn't have time for this mystery but I just couldn't sit it out again this year. And it's working. Yeah boy!
