Well, the blue quilt got done by Friday--no pic yet! But it is very pretty and I really like how easy it was to put together. I've made the binding out of lots of strips of the blue fabrics.
The Civil War fabric quilt ("A Touch of Pink") also has gotten the two side borders it needed.
Now there are two quilts needing to be basted and marked (my new intention to put more planned designs on my quilts). I'm back to the red and green log cabin to make the final 9 green strip blocks for the outside border.
I also have been frantically working this weekend to sort and re-organize my genealogy materials, which have been untouched for a few years. Lately, I joined ancestry.com and have been fascinated by what's on there! So stacks of family records (like censuses) have grown amidst my quiltmaking in the past month.
Some of the records I have accumulated along the way have actually proved out in light of all the new info on the Internet. My W.A. McCartney 1850 Census record actually proved out to be my W.A. McCartney. That was exciting! And my Bible page from my Aunt Linnie from 1933 helped prove a connection to the right Solomon Cates recently. That was a yippee!
This morning I cleaned out and reorganized a file cabinet in the garage that has been untouched for about six years. I'm on a mission! Full steam ahead!
