I actually got some work done this week so I'm excited!
Ongoing Projects:
The main portion of my charm pack quilt is finished. I bought some border material which I need to wash. Also, even though I said I would finish the back of the Spring quilt last week, it didn't happen. So it really needs to stay in ongoing until I get it done.
I also got a few more squares done on my string quilt.
New Projects:
I know I shouldn't until I finish some of the others, but I got a jelly roll and some Kona cotton in maize to do this quilt on Moda Bake Shop.
Also, I haven't done anything with the black/white and green quilt I brought up last week.

A question to anyone who will respond: when you give quilts as gifts, do you wash them first? I was just curious. I've only done 2 so far for other people (although most of the ones I'm working on are for others!) and I did not wash them first. It just made me wonder.

Great looking quilts!! Thanks for the nice comment on my blog! Your blog looks awesome! I am now a follower!! :)
Happy Sewing!
Hey girl - Sometimes I wash them first and sometimes I don't. It depends on if I want them to look nice and crisp or soft and crinkly. I also tell the recipient the washing instructions though.
I love both quilts.I am guilty of only prewashing if it is a dark color. I like the way they crinkle after washing.
Love, love, love the charm pack quilt! I've played around with doing one of these with Origins and yours is lovely!
ps I'm working with Kona maize right now too. such a happy color!
Great projects. I prewash, that way they can use the quilt immediately!
