I'd like to join again, but I'll decide which projects later. Thanks

Ok here are my projects (I think) LOL!

#1. I have 2 quilts to bind

#2. Crazy quilt...make more blocks and set into a top

#3. Eights are Enough/swaps....I don't think this one will take 6 hours to make so I am adding my monthly blocks and swaps to this one.

#4. Simply Strippy....make the top

#5 Tobacco Road...make top

You know this need to go on for about a year for me to get caught up on projects that I have bought the fabrics for and get the quilts actually finished! I'm making a lot of progress on them so far. ~Abbigail~

Welcome Majik - its so nice to see we picked up a couple new faces. And welcome back Redtop - we missed you last month. Yes Brenda, it does help to have group motivation along the way. I just wish I felt more like sewing these days. I'm trying to make my way back:o)

Ok, I said I'd try this so here we go. I started making lists of everything I've got going and whew! I'd better get to burning the midnight oil as they say.

1. Granny's Garden/4 Patch I Spy

2. Alyssa's Bears

3. CJ's Cars

4. Who's My Neighbor/Row Robin

5. Kimberlee's frogs

Some of them I don't think it will take 6 hrs to finish so I've combined two projects. I hope this is acceptable.

I've been doing that Jan. If I didn't get my swap blocks figured in here somewhere then I'd never get them done!

This is a preview of my month's work.
Project#1-Pieced Dresdan Plate-complete top
Project #2-Bear Paw-finished quilt
Project #3-Granny's Flower Garden-finished quilt, this one may not be 6 hours, if not I can add my 10 blocks for the Fall Sampler Swap
Project #4-Friendship Star Variation Swap
Project #5-Egg Money quilt-finished quilt

I started working on 2 of the quilts AGAIN in the June sew along. I started on the Granny's Flower Garden Swap blocks in June, but didn't get it finished either. I still need to finish the machine quilting, borders and bindings on all three.
I had already started the pieced Dresden Plate before the June sew along. I worked on it all the month of June, and still need to make several more blocks and they go soooo slow. So this one will take several hours too.

Redtop, you have some of the prettiest projects! I really like the bear paw top. Is that the pieced border for it above the top? ~Abbigail~

Yes, the pieced border is for the bear paw. This is a scrap quilt that was pieced years ago.
