Still working blue.....

But I am making some progress on Aidan's quilt. The letters are all sized and I am just adding blue to make them to size of the borders. The middle part is all sewn together finally. I was originally thinking of putting white around to frame it but I have changed my mind. I don't think it will look how I want. I prefer the blue and will just add the letters to the borders and then measure to make sure it is to size. If not, it will get a little more blue on the outside but I think it should finish 82x60. Enough for a twin bed size! Getting the borders attached will be today's project during naps.... unless I can steal some sewing time while they play!


Yesterday the boy did not take a nap but was playing with my stampin up stamps and stamp pads next to me while I was sewing up his letters. He made a very colorful page which has been put in the mail to Vermont for Grammy R.

OMGoodness, if you get all 12 items on your list done in AUG... well, we will all have to call you UFO-Queen! lol. All kidding aside, love Aiden's quilt - so cute. Love the letters.

You do such a good job on letters of the alphabet. So creative!

That's a hefty list... how many little children do you have? The nice thing about goals is that they help us to move in the right direction and get things done, even if we don't reach the goal (my thoughts).

I guess I sound like a broken record, but the quilt looks fabulous! Such a great idea for a child's quilt!

Great looking quilt. I like the look without a White boarder. The stars float so well the way you have it laid out.
