Happy Easter

Today is Easter one of my very favorite holidays. I think because my family didn't make such a big deal about it when I was growing up. We did the church thing and occasionally colored eggs but that was it. I really try to make it a fun special day for my kids.

Well I have been working on all kinds of projects. I need to finish up some of these quilts instead of starting new ones. I did finish up a rag quilt yesterday. I just need to wash it. It's a baby quilt but not your typical theme. I made one about six months ago for my nephews baby. I wanted to make it with the "hunting/fishing" theme so I used those fabrics. Well I guess the quilt was a HUGE hit with all the friends of my nephew and his girlfriend. She asked me if I would make her one for her friend who is due in June.

I did start a quilt today for my daughters best friend whom we call daughter #2. It is a diamond shape design with black background. I am using bright colors for the diamond pattern. They should really pop with the black background.

I need to finish my bowtie quilt, the granny square one, decide on if I am going to sew up the squares for a mystery quilt I cut fabric for, finish cutting and make my best friend her quilt and of course continue to work on my hexi english paper piecing.

I am attaching a pic of the baby quilt, let me know what you think?
