End of the Month Progress

I can't believe we are already at the end of February.   I'm so looking forward to March.....I love spring time, tulips, daffodils, daylight savings, I can go on and on.

Here is a recap of what I finished in February:

Stash Bee - February
Pippy Longstocking for Tanya



Liberty & Justice - February
20.5" block for Vickie



Stash Bee - March
Churn Block for Emily (thanks to Emily who posted earlier today what she wanted for March)



Sew South Retreat - House Block




When I was at a retreat a month ago, I worked hard into the night on the #scrappytripalong that went viral on Instagram around the first of January.  This past weekend I finished sewing together the top and it is ready to be quilted.  I've never FMQ such a large quilt (72 x 84) before and I'm planning on sewing straight lines 1/4" from the seams.  This will be on my to do list for April while my husband is away turkey hunting.


Finally, I have a quilt done for 2013.  I'm always amazed at all the blogs that I read and how many quilts each blogger has already finished in 2013.  I guess I need to step it up a bit.

    I love your sparkle plenty quilt! It's gorgeous. And you've completed so many bee blocks too, that would take time away from completing as many of your own quilts as others do. Don't compare yourself!
