I have all the blocks for Bella's quilt pieced together. I think I need to move some of them around before I sew all the blocks together. I don't think I am going to quilt it with the minkee. I will use some very ugly fabric I found to quilt the top, then sew the minkee on pillow case style and tie it in a few strategic places. I am doing this for a couple of reasons. I don't want to interfere with the total softness of the minkee with all over quilting, and I have heard that quilting with minkee is a bear. I think it will work very well the way I am going to do it.
Here is today's Jacob's Ladder block.
I also pulled some fabric for a project I am doing over at Modern 8 Create.
So far, I am really liking the color combinations.
Right now, I am going to go put my feet up and relax for a while.
Joyful quilting, everyone.

Bella's quilt is so 2011. Pink, purple and princesses... She is going to LOVE it. Me too!
Love Bella's quilt... and I know she will too!
Your JL block is amazing... the Aloe solid is one cool fabric... goes with anything!
You certainly did have a lot of quilting over the weekend. I love the fussy fairies in B's quilt. Great colors too. Say hi for me! And joyful quilting to U2.
I love the red and purple fabrics together!Beautiful!
So cute!!!
I've heard that about minkee but that once you get accustomed to it - you learn the trick (whatever that may be). I made some pillows with it and it sure does stretch.
Love Bella's quilt...I had heard that about Minkee. Please update us on your blog on how it goes? I have some that was donated for my charity quilts, and I need to know how to handle it!
