I've finally felt well enough to get some quilting done and today was quite a productive day. I finished off the Chinese Coins quilt. It only needed the binding and some finishing off--cutting off thread ends and a good brushing--but that's done and I am ready to pass it along for a label. I'll have a look and see what I can find amongst or recent pile of label donations. If I am testing negative by Tuesday I will come to the meeting, unless anyone feels nervous about me being there. I'll bring the quilt to show everyone and get help with the photograph. It's a long quilt and really difficult to get a picture of.
I also finished this Hourglass baby quilt top which I will give to my sister to quilt and finish but I may end up doing that as well when I am there in June. Squaring up those blocks was a real pain. I had to line two crossed 90 degree lines along the diagonals but there was always one line of the four that didn't line up with the point so I knew my points would be all over the place. I decided I didn't really care and in the end they mostly did line up. I'm sure the baby and mom won't care much either.
It's for a June baby. You can just see the edges of the blue and yellow Zipper Quilt underneath which is next in the production line. I hope to get that quilted and bound tomorrow. Then just one more quilt to get quilted (Scrappy Zig Zag) and I think I am all caught up.
