Terrific Tuesday

After at least a month of being on the quilt frame, the Spinning and Rock Around the Block tops are finally quilted!!! I tried doing the dwirling concept from the Pajama Quilter DVD. It turned out OK, but may not be something I'll try again anytime soon. I just need to cut the binding and get it sewn on. I have off work tomorrow and hope to get the binding on then, otherwise by the weekend for sure. Then I'll be two finishes closer to my goal of getting 11 tops done this year.

I also plan to participate in the Quiltathon this weekend if I don't have to work. The projects I plan on working on are:

• Finish S/R Around the Block if not done tomorrow.
• Make backing for Bricks & Stepping Stones and load onto the quilting frame.
• Work on Shirley's PP bright star block.
• Rambling Rose BOM - last three blocks.

That should keep me busy for a while. I'm definitely feeling motivated to get some of these items knocked off the "to-do" list and added to the "finished" list. If only there were more hours in the day. ;0)

When I ordered my thread, I ordered Suzanne Earley's meandering books so I'm hoping to get some ideas for quilting some of the tops on my list. Most of them are still on there because I have no idea how to quilt them so I've been putting them off. Most are 2 years old and they need to get finished!!!
