I got the blue veterans quilt top together. If I have a good blue backing I will get it loaded and start quilting today. I have a quilt from my friend, Peg, that I can pair it with. This was made with the leftover blocks from The Big Blue Quilt and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Next I need to start a baby quilt, It's going to be a smaller version of the Farm Quilt. But first I needed to clean up this mess. I put buttons on the two shawls that I finished over vacation and got the finished crochet projects put away in the donation closet. Then I cut some strips from the leftover blue fabrics for a scrappy binding for the veterans quilts. The rest of the leftovers have all been put away.
Our snow melted some yesterday and should mostly be gone today. Chris is getting stir crazy so that's a good thing. I'm not planning to go anywhere until Friday to run some errands. Today I will start cutting blocks for the baby quilt and, if I have a backing, I will start quilting the blue quilt. Otherwise, I have no other obligations.

The quilt top looks great. I like that button on the shawl. Is it metal?

I’d agree with Gene about my own level of “mess” There’s not enough time to clean and sew- I choose to sew.

The quilt top turned out very pretty! Mess? Oh, that's not that much of a mess. It will be nice to get everything put away so you can start working on the next project.
