Well, I still haven't gotten the binding on, but I did cut off all the excess batting and backing...
I'm working on a baby boy quilt using the boyish fabrics from a "Love U" jelly roll.
I got quite a bit done on the Verna quilt top. 36 blocks made, pressed, squared to 9x9 inches and sashing cut. The pattern has a 5 blocks by 6 blocks arrangement. I was going to make it 6 x 6 but then changed my mind to keep it rectangular and go with 5 x 7 blocks.
My mom says that if there is an empty horizontal surface that I will fill it up... and lately i've been doing so with quilting stuff...

Works in progress... Jan 2011
After talking to Jordan today I was inspired to post something. Though until last weekend I hadn't really quilted any since my last post... except maybe a row or two on Kiran's Halloween quilt.
I got the Curve Master presser foot for x-mas. So I can so curves without using pins. I also long ago bought a Drunkard's Path template and a 28mm rotary cutter that I had never used...
I had a few Hello Betty charm squares left from the retro color scheme that I didn't care much for, so I thought I'd practice with them. Originally I thought I'd arrange the blocks 3X2 but then changed my mind midway and decided to go with a 6X1 table runner. However, now colorwise I don't like the block arrangement but I don't think it's worth the time to fix for a practice project...
I'm also starting to work on this pattern...
I used the ruler J&J gave me for x-mas to cut up a Moda Verna layer cake... If I like how it turns out I plan to use the pattern again. I think the pattern would be a good boy quilt pattern and I have a wintery fat quarter bundle that I want to use to make a pair of quilts for K & N. I also like the big pieces in this quilt for those fabrics that have large scale prints...
I cut some strips for binding my jelly girl quilt...
Kiran's winter coat got a rip in the outer layer of fabric so we bought an iron-on patch at Joanns that he picked out with a truck on it and I sewed it down... and that is the extent of my quilting/sewing :)
