The pink/purple baby quilt top is finished - you can see it here.  I have some misc pink flowery fabrics from the deep stash that will never see the light of day anytime soon cut into 10.5 inch squares to piece into a nice girly backing.  Just have to get an arrangement worked out for them.

Little S wants to submit a quilt for QuiltFest in Sept 2014.  She knows how to sew, but has to work on her seam allowance.  I had some 8" squares precut for another project that didn't happen, so it was perfect to pull out one day during the vacation when she decided she wanted to sew.  She got one seam done and quit.  But yesterday she just sat down and started sewing away until she had it all done.  I pinned and she sewed.  When I got ahead of her then I cut out the pink flowery squares and I was still close by to supervise.  Two birds with one stone!

She got 4 big 9-patches done.  Make a nine-patch was one of her new year's resolutions so she was super happy.  Then to liven it up a bit, we cut them for a disappearing 9-patch.  So more sewing in the future to get those sewn together to make the top.  There was just enough extra fabric to make a few more pieces so the "sashing" will be the same on all four sides.  This is destined to be a donation quilt through the quilt guild.
