20-6 inch blocks for a swap.
That's a fair 'haul' Mary! I have added a good few assorted blocks to my own challenge quilt! I am working with black and white prints, mostly. I had a good collection of black and white. Nowadays, I seem to prefer TOT, plain or virtually plain. Using these prints is a bit tough, but I slip the odd almost plain in there; and one or two 'specls' of truly plain black and white >gg<

Sounds like you might be caught up on most of the sewing. I haven't done any quilting, but I have done some alterations for friends before they went on a big trip. It kept me busy! Barbara in FL

Caught up? LOL I have quilts for granddaughters that didn't get done for Christmas and another table topper with only the center done for my next to do projects. I have LOTS of unfinished projects to do.

Don't think I've been caught up for 10 years.

Our decision to spend the winter in Southern California has turned out to b e a very smart choice! The major quilting project I brought along was my De ar Jane quilt. I foolishly thought in 2 months of concentrated sewing I cou ld finish at least half the blocks. Most days I only finish one block. The re are just too many distractions. The beautiful weather calls me outside. I also purchased a series of monthly miniature quilt patterns by Kathy Schm itz at a store in Texas on the drive out. Each has a center embroidered de sign with a pieced border finishing 13x15. So far I've stitched 3 designs m ainly stitching in the evenings. When I sent a photo to my LQS back home th e owner decided to carry the patterns. As I finish stitching a center I mai l it back to her & she adds the border so she can use my work as the shop s ample.
