WIP Wednesday 2.29.12

Happy Leap Day.  Where did this week go again.  Heck, this week? How about this month?  Wow!

I've been trying hard to finish my Pineapple Blossom May 2011 Block Lotto quilt.  It is the WIP I am supposed to be working on for my 2012 UFO's (tab on top of my blog.)  I'm sooooo much closer.  This quilt used to be just a shoebox of blocks.  I finished piecing the back.  It's a lot of pieces.  But I'm happy that NO FABRIC was purchased.  It's all from my stash.  It would have been much quicker to just go to JoAnn Fabrics and throw $30 - $40 at it and call it a day.  But I am very very happy with the results.

I also had a finish for February.  It's the Bust Yo Scraps quilt I did.  It was also a new FO.  It was also part of the Scrap Attack.  Here it is if you haven't seen it yet:

The quilt measures 41" x 56". It will be auctioned off with a local support group for Down Syndrome.
The pieced back is one of my favorites so far!
day.

All of the Eclipse blocks from the January 2012 Block Lotto have made it to their new home.  Here's the approximate layout.  I think I will do the top just a little bit differently or make two more eclipse blocks.  As I received bock I machine embroidered the name and location of the sender.

I am considering picking out colors for the NY Beauty QA and tempted by it. I really enjoy paper piecing, but do I really need another project going on right now? I usually wait until my husband is working out of town to quilt big quilt tops... Some of these quilts will be on hold for a while... Hmmmmm.
