This is the progress<\/span> on my projects since New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n

1. I have pieced another 17 color catcher string blocks. They still need to be trimmed, but that is a job I will leave till an evening in front of the TV. This is an ongoing project. As I have color catchers and strings of fabric, I continue to make these and store them in a box. When I have enough to make a quilt, I sit down and piece the top. I will never run out of string blocks, nor will this project ever end.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> 2. This is the color catcher string quilt that I quilted on New Year’s Day. It now has a binding machine sewn to the front. All this quilt needs is the hand work to fasten the binding to the back of the quilt. I will be taking this project with me to work on at my Monday night quilt group.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>3. This is my dryer string diamond quilt. I finished this quilt to the flimsy stage back on May 27, 2007<\/a>. It was time it was quilted! I quilted it using the Baptist Fan template. This one just needs the binding now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> 4. This is my Christmas Patience Corners quilt. I worked on adding blocks to this one in the last couple of days. Currently this top is 73″ wide. I bought some backing on Friday (from the last of the bolts left from Liquidation World’s sale) that was 108″ wide. I think I will make this quilt as wide as I can to make maximum use of the backing. That means I will likely need to add another 1 1\/2 blocks (if you count a group of four squares as a block) to the width of this quilt for a total of 7 1\/2 blocks in width. I started this quilt top back in December 2006<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> This is a picture of the wide fabric that I bought for the back of my Patience Corner quilt. It is bright and wild. Those flowers are at least 10″ across. I think I mentioned before that bright green is my new favorite colour!<\/p>\n
