What's Happening

This week, I completed Round #5 of Darlene's Mystery Quilt.  48 - 5 1/2" log cabin blocks. Love this border.  It was so fun to make. At this point it measures 60 1/2" x 70 1/2" .  Round #6 will be made available the first week of July.  A bit of a wait but that's Ok. I think I have things to keep me busy!  

I have three categories that I use for keeping track of my projects
1.  In Pieces
2.  Just needs Borders 
3.   I need to be Quilted

This week was special to me because for the first time ever, one of these categories, #2, is totally free and clear, nothing in the pile, all complete.   All the quilts tops in #2 are now in #3 pile.  So, I guess I better get in quilting mode. I won't say how many projects are now in #1 and #3 and I bet that #2 won't be empty for long.  

  I am still handquilting "My Reminiscense", which I started working on in March,  and it is very slow going but my plan is pick up the pace and get this one done. 

I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network   Stop by and see what is happening across Canada.  Lots of wonderful projects.

    It looks great. It's nice to have projects in different stages so that you don't get bored.

    I like how your mystery quilt is progressing.
    Good method of sorting your quilts. I have far too many in each category, though fewest in #2 as well. I do wonder how many are in #3, but kind of afraid to count. Perhaps I'll start a new list one of these days, well, maybe after i finish some up.

    Well done for emptying your pile 2! I have a large pile 3 as well - so I'm in quilting mode too!

    Your mystery quilt looks really good! I like your method of sorting quilts too. I don't really have a #2 pile because I tend to not add borders to my quilts, so mine go from pile #1 to #3. And then they stay in pile #3 for what seems like an eternity. :)
