I obviously didn't get far - WIP Wednesday

My DH gave me some unexpected sewing time on Sunday, and I was able to finally put my top together using the How Far Will You Go? QAL blocks!  I really like how the blues turned out.  This is only about half of the blocks we were supposed to make.  After ordering 3 different colors to try to match the background fabric I ran out of, I gave up.  Terrible.  So as you can see, I didn't get very far in the How Far Will You Go? QAL.  Yet, my top measures 40 x 50 inches - OK for a toddler quilt or really big baby blanket.  I decided not to add borders to it, since it seems a little busy already with all those different fabrics.

I also have a backing and piece of batting ready for basting.  Unfortunately, I've been feeling a little under the weather the last few days, so I haven't progressed further.  I also have no idea how I am going to quilt this top.  Samplers always give me quilter's block.

This Wednesday...

Completed Projects:

• Winter Mug Rug for Kristie

• Bee Blocks from yesterday's post here.

On-going Projects:

AKA - "stuff I plan to touch this week or next".

• My Blue & White One Block Wonder -This is my January UFO - I decided to add some thin borders before backing this quilt.  They are only half put on.  :(  This quilt has also been stored for so long that I have no idea what (if any) plan I had for the backing.
• Bee Blocks & BOM blocks - I am ahead of the game for January Bee's, but I haven't started the BOM's yet.
• Star of Africa Bee - catch up time!!  
• Curves Class goodies - Class started Monday!  I am already super excited about several of the projects!!
• Discontinuity Quilt - this is a class I am taking at Road to California next week.  During the class, we are supposed to complete 1/2 of a crib-sized quilt.  I am determined not to let it stay 1/2 a quilt.  Since I need to make 2 baby quilts, this might end up serving as one of them.
• How Far Will You Go? QAL -  Now that it is a flimsy, there is hope it might get done soon.

Back Burner:

These will likely be touched in a couple of weeks.

• Handstitched Medallion Quilt - quilting in progress.  I have the center done and am working on the middle borders at the moment.  I do a little bit here and there whenever I'm in front of the TV and the kids aren't climbing all over me (the 2 rarely happen at the same time).
• Beginner Quilt Along at Quilting Gallery - top needs to be put together. It is ridiculous that I haven't just slapped this one together
• Charity quilt for the guild - not started.   
• NEW Baby quilt - two friends are having a babies soon, and it sounds like a perfect reason to make a couple new quilts, right?  

The Back, Back Burner:

Lightning would have to strike twice, but I like to keep this category going just to remind me what I have in the pipeline.

• Handstitched goodies - several small projects in limbo.  
• Star Circles aka New York Beauty blocks - time is coming to get back to these

This week's stats:
Completed projects - 2
New projects - 3
Currently in Progress - 6
