February is almost gone

The month is almost gone and I sit here wondering where it went and what did I get done? I often feel like the squirrel in the cage, running inside the wheel as fast as he can go and getting nowhere, fast.

As I look back, I did make another two sets of blocks for the Black/White/Bright swap on Quiltalk. They are addicting. I've got the fabric selected for several more sets. I think I may only send in the four sets and then make more for myself. Not sure yet. May change my mine. My plan with these nine inch blocks is to cut them apart in quarters and make a "Disappearing Nine Patch" quilt for one of my grandsons. I just think this would be a great pattern for a teen.

I've also got to get busy and get the two graduation quilts I need for this year made. I've got the basic idea for both of them and most of the fabrics. I just need to get busy and get them made. They are both for girls.

I'm also in the middle of making a "Double Pinwheel" quilt top from Eleanor Burns book by that name. I need it finished by next week as it is the class sample for a quilt retreat that I'm teaching at the second week of March. Time sure has crept up on me and I'm not at all ready for that. I've taught it before so that part isn't any problem. I like to make a new class sample when I haven't taught a class in some time to refresh my mind of any tricky points. So, I just need to get all of my "stuff" together. I'll post a photo when I get it finished.

Guess it's time to get off the computer and get into the sewing room and get busy. Those quilt blocks sure don't push them selves under the needle without some help.
