I finally got a little focused and got some things done this weekend. The weather has also finally started to turn cool so we were about to get out Saturday for a brisk 5 mile walk. Chris is a foot taller than me so all walks with him are brisk for me! But after the walk and breakfast I was ready to get down to some work. I finished the 3rd set of blocks for my Summer Sunset quilt so 3 of 8 star points are done. This is not a fast project but it's great to work on while listening to a good book. I got 2 more rows of the pink blocks quilted on Kim's Garden. I have one more row of flower blocks and the pink border blocks and then I can move on to the yellow blocks. I'm very happy with how this is coming along. But it's also a slow project. So for the next few weeks you are likely to see nothing but these two projects. It's probably going to get a bit boring around here. The 4 bolts of wide backing fabric that I ordered for veterans quilts came in so yesterday I cut one bolt and dyed 7 quilt backs. That will make 14 quilts. I already have tops for 4 of them! I'll get these washed today and started soaking. They need to be done by the time that I start dyeing again Wednesday.
I don't have any big plans this week so I hope to keep making progress on these 2 projects.

Vicki, Is it possible for you to share where do you order your wide backing?

Summer Sunset and Kim's Garden - each so unlike the other, both so wonderful!

I always enjoy seeing fabric in the dye bath. I think that is one of the reasons I started dyeing -although I can't do the magic that you do with it.

Those long term projects seem like they are boring to us readers, but we like to see your progress and send you encouraging comments!

I love seeing your quilting progress on Kim's Garden, it looks fab! Boy do I understand the brisk walk, my hubby walks fast and with big steps. Sometimes I just let him get 5 feet in front of me and wait for him to notice, LOL
