Finished:
Warm/Cool Diamonds quilt
Still going:
100 Quilts for Kids quilt - I finished up the top yesterday, but I suspect it's going to be next weekend before I get a chance to finish this one up.
Farmer's Wife QAL - I honestly didn't find the words yesterday to post about my Farmer's Wife progress, in part because I didn't realize it was Tuesday until about dinnertime. Darn that long holiday weekend! I've got two more blocks done, and things are moving right along.

| This week's new blocks |
The Guy Quilt - I let the munchkin pick out the solid backing fabric to go with a special surprise fabric he hasn't seen, and now that I've finished the math, I'm hoping to find the time to piece the back together this week.
Weekender - Wound up with the wrong zipper (eek, an invisible zipper!) last week, but the right one arrived yesterday. Megan says that she and I are going to finish this bag together, and I'm really going to need her to egg me on here, I'm starting to lose my motivation to finish this one!
Secret Quilt Project - Same old news, still waiting on fabric. :(
do.Good blocks - No news here :(
New this Week:
{Sew} Beautiful block for AnneMarie - AnneMarie sent out some lovely Bliss and Ruby charms for us this month that we'll be turning into Dutch Pinwheel blocks. I bet these blocks are going to be super pretty!
Sewing Summit swaps - I've got a few personal swaps set up to swap in person at the Sewing Summit next month (yippee!!!!!), which I'm super looking forward to. I'm really looking forward to handing someone that I've "known" online for eons something I made just for them. I've had a lot of fun so far thinking about what to make for everyone, but I'm hoping to start pulling fabrics this week, too.
What are you working on? Did you finish anything up over the long weekend? Blog it and go share it at Freshly Pieced!
Lots of progress there!
