The goal of working on my quilt rack backlog and

The last of the charity quilts were quilted,

On to the next challenge!
The goal of working on my quilt rack backlog and
getting some charity quilting done was a success!
The last of the charity quilts were quilted,
actually only one.
The Hopscotch top is finally complete.
It was first finished up a few weeks ago,
but the size was a bit small at a 56" x 64"
so I upped the size by 8" so now it
measures a nice 63"x 71".
Here it is with the additional top row,
all sides pinned and ready to stitch and,
finally all sides on. A nice press
and it's time to audition some backings.
The organization bug bit me,
I tidied it up a closet and happened
to find a small bin of yardage for quilt backs.
This Hopscotch is getting a nice green check back
with small baskets of flowers.
There were enough 3-4 meter pieces
that 3 more quilts now have backings!
The Sea Glass will get this nice gold
enhanced backing.
The first of the blue scrap strip quilt is getting
a muted striped backing that
mirrors the stripes on the front.
The multicolor strip quilt will
be backed with a small floral print with a
black background.
It turned out to be a very productive start to the week!

Wow, sometimes you just can't get going.
I'm having a bit of that now.
So many projects, so little time
and so much of my time allotted already!
It must be spring!
Anywho, I see a project on my design wall
that is just a little bit small.
It is the Hopscotch or two-step pinwheel.
it required some redo and now looks like this.
I think a row or two each way
will make it more conducive as a
great gift quilt for a few I have in mind.
I have two sets of Outlaws
that haven't gotten a quilt and
two engaged couples who haven't gotten quilts.
Everyone should have at least one quilt to start them out
so I really need to get going.
I think I'll make blocks for the Hopscotch
and get some stitching done on a
bright beautiful spring day.
Wow that sounds like a good name for a quilt!
Stay safe and so on.
