I Just Cannot Pass Up a Challenge!!!

I saw this post on a couple blogs and decided to join Finn's Challenge to finish up some UFOs before New Year's Eve. It's a pretty low pressure challenge with no penatly for not finishing LOL

So here's what I'd like to finish before the end of the year:

• Japanese Kanji Quilt
• Blue & Tan Pineapple Blossom
• Scrappy Starstruck
• Buttercharm & Jelly
• Trip Around the World
• Carolina Crossroads
• Pink & White Swap Blocks

It's a pretty agressive list, but most of them just need borders and quilting. So it should be doable.

Wish me luck!

Party Time!!!

Well Suzanne is celebrating 600 posts over on her blog and is throwing a PARTAY! I told her I'd bring fresh brownies....Hop on over there and join the party!! Way to go Suzanne!!!

Quiltathon-ing!!!

Believe it or not I was able to participate today in the Quiltathon that JudyL hosts periodically!!!

Today was also Summer Mystery 2008 Day on a couple of yahoo lists! So I sorted my nickels and started sewing bright and early!!! I am thrilled with my "If I had a Nickel" top! I decided to make a crib size and used pinks and greens from Moda's Celebrate Spring line with Kona Snow for the background. I still plan to do a narrow inner border using the Snow with a piano key border using the white nickels from the same line. With borders this quilt will finish approximately 50 x 58 inches. Since I tend to make larger baby quilts this will be perfect for a baby girl. So I'll hang onto it as a gift since many of my friends are having babies.

I still have 2 more days to sew and I'll keep you all posted on my progress in the sewing room. I hope everyone is having a quilty weekend!
