WIP Wednesday #26

This is my first WIP post.  So here it goes...

Completed Projects
Supernova Quilt-Along
COMPLETE!!!  Even though I had to deal with a broken sewing machine and then a new sewing machine, I made it through the quilt-along.  I am so happy with the finished result.  There were a lot of firsts on this quilt.  My first finished bed-sized quilt, my first quilt-along, my first attempt at machine quilting, my first time using a camera to help remember my plan, my first thin, all cotton batting.  Ahhhh.  I can breath now that it is done.  Thanks again, Lee.  Great job on the quilt-along and the easy-to-follow instructions.

May Block Lotto Blocks
The nine pineapple blocks for the May Block Lotto are complete.  I like to get these done in the beginning of the month so that I can move on to my bigger projects.

Irish Chain Baby Quilt

My niece had a baby girl this week.  I finished this Irish Chain baby quilt just in time.  I just love the way the 3-D flowers made it special.

Quilting Spreadsheet
I know this seems a little odd, but I made a spreadsheet to let me know what projects and obligations I have.  I am so spreadsheet oriented.  When I first made the spreadsheet I had 31 planned projects.  Yikes!  Remember that I just started quilting in January of this year.  I guess the quilt bug has bitten me and taken over my body.  Some of these projects are big (full-sized quilts and quilt-alongs), and some are pretty small (Block Swap Adventure).  Here's a look at some of it:
