Spring Forward


 I have been dreading the time change because I hate losing a whole hour, but it staying late longer is nice. I finally washed my Rainbow Curved Log Cabin Baby Quilt.
 It got nice and crinkly and it did not seem to matter that the backing is minky. This will go into my baby quilt stash ready to be gifted.
 Because I liked the baby quilt so much, I already started to make more blocks for another quilt and for my RSC17 challenge. I am thinking a lap-sized version this time.
 The color for RSC17 March is red. Here are all my red blocks so far...
 This quilt is my OMG challenge for March and it was an RSC15 project. I pinned it this morning and I am nearly done with my machine quilting. I just need to dig into my stash for a good binding.
Here is the quilting on the minky backing.
My embroidering for retirement quilts continues and I will soon be putting everyone's blocks together for one of the retirement quilts. Here is a link to more handwork:

  7. Aren't quilts cuddly wonderful after the first wash! Maybe some day you will see a real rainbow and photograph your quilt with it in the background. An idea to file away.
