I worked on the pastel swap blocks today. I found out that I hadn't checked them for size when I got them about 5 years ago! After sewing them in to rows and then starting to sew the rows together I found some where the seams didn't match. So I measrured them and they are 1/4 short on one side on some of the blocks! So now I am taking some apart and making new blocks to fit in for the too small ones. Needless to say I didn't make much progress today but I did get the yard mowed!

bampish, it looks like you had better get busy! 5 projects to finish in a month!

#4. Finish the 2 quilt tops so they can be quilted for Christmas gifts next year. They are at my LA ready to be quilted!!

Does putting fabric in smaller bins count? I have two bins that look less full now.

Kho, looks like you're knocking some of them off the list! Great going! I didn't get anything done the last couple of days. I had to catch up on something besides quilting!
