Baby Boy Projects

Ryan's Cradle Quilt
This week I'm working on a couple baby boy projects. Only half our grandsons have the quilts they were supposed to receive at birth (Bad Grammy).  Ryan's will be cradle-sized like the one his big brother received ON TIME (it pays to be the first grandchild!). Petey's quilt is larger as he is in his big boy bed now. It will be a good size for naps. There's a lot of work already completed on these projects and I think I can realistically hope to finish them by next Monday.
Peter's Kitty Quilt

The wedding/anniversary project is coming along nicely. I worked hard on it last week, logging many hours of quilting time. Six of sixteen blocks are quilted!! But, I'll take a brief break this week to work on these small projects, which are close to being finished. The boost that comes with completing a project will keep my motivation up for work on the larger quilt.  

I'm thinking about creating a list of all my U.F.O.'s, but can't decide if that would be motivating or just plain discouraging.  Maybe, if I have a few things finished in another week or two, I will post a list.  Maybe....

I'm afraid of my UFO's. I don't have a list...

I love seeing photos of your projects. I think a list of your projects would be cool and then we can watch how you get them each done. I think you will be so proud of each quilt you finish. It is wonderful to get them done. Your blog is inspiring. Keep it up.

Claudia, thank you so much! I may make that list next week. It'll be fun to use the "strike-out" feature and draw lines through the finished items. Marilyn, don't be a scaredy cat. Pick the smallest project and just finish it. Or better yet, pick that 50th birthday quilt project I started for you and finish that!! Send it to that lady in Coopersville or the one in Grand Haven to quilt for you. Love you both. Suz
