Sprung

 

Well, I missed my deadline. I wanted the snowflake quilt done and packed away by the first day of spring but I didn't make it. In my defense, I had a week of vaccine hysteria get in my way that I hadn't counted on. I was pretty useless for the most of the week but I did get the machine quilting finished yesterday.



I also got the binding cut and two sides sewn on but then I ran out of steam. I'll finish sewing them on today and hopefully start stitching it all down next week. It's my favorite part of the whole quilting process and I am looking forward to it. 




As for a spring project to take its place, I've got a giant pile of these waiting to get sewn together. 



They are from the Sunflower Quilt kit from Connecting Threads that I started three summers ago. It looks  pretty doable.  I think its time has come.

    Progress is being made and I really like your new quilt too. I've been packing things for my trip to Nebraska so I don't have any yarn available except for mittens and socks. So far I almost have a pair of socks done in the past 3 days!
    Blessings,

    Close enough on the snowflake quilt--it doesn't feel like Spring temps this week so you can finish it! lol The 'new' project will be a fun to piece together--great quilt.

    From what I can see, you did a wonderful job on the machine quilting. The complete finish is clearly within your grasp.
