Some Progress

 
This is the finished top I made for Bella.  It is on the frame now waiting to be quilted.  It will be her big sister gift when the new baby comes in a few weeks.
 
 
February's AAQI mini was great fun to make.  I had great fun pulling spring solids from my very small stash of solids.  I need to get more since I have decided I like working with them.
 
 
I belong to the Business and Professional Women's Organization and we are having our scholarship fund raising gala next month.  Instead of a silent auction, we have been asked to donate a wrapped gift or two for each table that people may bid on.  I decided to make a set of six place mats.  Once again, I pulled from my small solids stash and some scraps from another recent quilt top.  I hope whoever wins the bid enjoys them.
 
Each one is a little unique, which makes it a fun set.
I have a couple of finished quilts I will post photos of tomorrow.  I am sorry to have been away so much, but I picked up a bug that laid me low for a while.  I am feeling better now, but Tom has been struck now. Hopefully, full health will return to our house soon.
Joyful quilting, everyone.

I figured you must be ill - it's a bug that takes a long time to recover from. Love all your pieces - really pretty pink project for Bella.

It's good to see you back, Miki. I do like Bella's pink quilt, what a thoughtful idea to make her a quilt of her own, a big sister quilt. I like your AAQI mini too, I think solids are quite difficult to work with. Your table mats are gorgeous with the controlled random pattern and whoever wins them will be very lucky.

Love your baby quilt. The mother will be happy when the baby is lieing on it.
