Oh my stars!

I finished the top of the oh my stars I spy quilt.



I decided to give leaders and enders a try again. So while piecing the top, I started sewing 2.5" I spy squares together.



I'm thinking a postage stamp I spy quilt. But I need lots more variety in my squares.

Very little progress

I made a little progress on my I spy oh my stars quilt. Because it was 60* outside. Hard to believe most of the snow is gone already. Spent most of the day outside. Had to enjoy it today, since tomorrow is 100% chance of rain.

Snow and a baby quilt.

Wednesday around 3PM, they called off school for Thursday. This is what it was like outside.



Thursday morning:



Throughout the day it snowed, thundered, lightening, hailed and sleeted. I spent the day cuddling a sick little boy, coughing and high fever.



Friday (today) school was two hours late. Woke up to it still snowing.



I finished this baby quilt about two weeks ago. Can't believe I haven't shared it yet. Someone my husband works for is expecting a baby. His wife is getting induced today! Lucas asked him what kind of baby blanket they would like. He said one with Case IH tractors. The baby is a girl. I wasn't very happy that my husband asked. But after spending a day on the internet searching I found a panel with tractors on it that was girly.



I than spent a week coming the internet looking for a pattern. I seen this quilt posted by Jo.



And I drafted out the size stripsi would need and made this:

FAL Q2 List

I finished 5 projects off of my FAL Q1 list. Yet my list has grown!

1. I Spy Jar Quilt. I have fabric collected for this, debating on the background and jar lids.



2. Halloween Mini quilt. I started this last year before Halloween, didn't finish it before Halloween and tucked it away.



3. Lowercase rag letters to go with the upper case ones I made last list.



4 and 5. I found some chalkboard fabric at walmart. I found two patterns I want to make with it. A tic tac toe board and a small chalkboard for my youngest to practice his letters on.



6. A drawstring bag for the rag letters.



7. A superhero quilt.



8. My niece is expecting her 2nd baby, and I think this is the quilt I'm going to make.



9. A rainbow quiet book.



10, 11, and 12. 3 I spy quilts. (I'm sure I could make more with my collection of novelty fabric!)



13. Seeing Stars quilt.



14. A memory bear for my Aunt. I'm tempted to tell her I can't. I'm not sure how to work with this fabric.



15.Apple Mini



16. ABC quilt.



17. A rainbow Irish Chain quilt(this picture was taken from the web.) I have some neutral 2.5" blocks cut and put in a ziplock, I have a bunch of 2.5" colored squares sorted into their colored boxes.



18. House quilt-I have all kinds of colored scraps saved and I have this pattern bought, found this picture on the internet and this is what my goal is, a rainbow house quilt.



19. With all my rainbow scrappy chunks, I want to make this crumb quilt.



20. Scrappy Rainbow Stars Quilt.



21. I want to make a whole bunch more quilted hearts.



22. Something from this owl fabric for a niece.

v, w and sorting

I got v and w done. Now I need to go shopping to figure out the rest of the letters left.



I'm debating about this one for n. (music) notes. Do you think it works?



I decided since I had no more fabric to use to make letters I would sort through a bag of scrap novelty fabric.



The bag still has a lot left in it!
