Ready, set, quilt!




Want to quilt with me? Starting in September, when the kids go back to school and I have more ME time, I will be starting up a quilt block-of-the month. Over in the Links I Like section is another blog just for quilting stuff enititled "Mel's Quilting Spot". I will have a pattern to follow for a different quilt block each month on that page. Since the kids are in school typically from September through May, that gives us 9 months, or 9 blocks. It should make for a nice wall hanging or lap quilt by the time school is out. This will be a challenge to see if I actually get a quilt finished in time. I usually need a deadline or some other encouragement to get me going. I have alot of UFO's or (UnFinished Objects) in my quilting area. This would be good to get me to follow through with some. I will also be posting pictures of mine and anyone else's who wish to send in so we can all see our progress. Hope this will be fun for all you quilters out there. Gee, that means we all have to go buy some more fabric. Oh darn, what ever shall we do? So get all your stuff ready for the school year and see what creations we can come up with!!

Are all of those quilts finished? The last I had seen you were still quilting the colorful one.

Cool! I'm glad I got ya! I hope this won't interfere with the one you have to finish now. It is only going to be a block this month so it shouldn't be too much.
Yeah, the 2 quilts on the left are still works in progress. Don't know how long though! heehee

You're going to need a baby quilt before the end of the year, too. Those kids better get their butts back to school so you can have some quiltin' time!
