Baby Flower Gardens for the Twin Girls

My week did not go how I imagined since I sewed what I had thought was my secondary project instead of the primary project.  My idea for the twin baby girls was to use the remnants of a flowered charm park.  There were enough duplicates to have a good start on a plan.  

Matching stacks of 5" blocks + a few extras.

I would use those as a starting point and then add from the stash.  I was on a roll, so I just kept rolling.  I ended up getting the remaining squares cut, tested layouts, 

I used a B&W filter for the first time!!

even added flowered borders.  I had some ideas for backings and got those ready as well.

Since I was doing so well, I just kept going and got them both pin basted! 

Ready for quilting.

Considering there were two days I just didn't feel up to sewing, I got a lot done!  Well ahead of schedule for the baby girl quilts. I've got myself set up well to quilt in spurts after school this week.  We'll see how that goes.

I got the tops done so will count that fabric as out this week.  I'll wait to count the backings out until they are quilted.
