Signature block quilts

Well, the first one is completely finished, including the label on the
back!! I was going to layer the second one, but my back started
acting up again, so that didn't happen. My friend who wants to learn
basic machine sewing will be coming over tomorrow after she does her
walking and after I get my allergy shots, and I will start her out on
assembling the blocks for the third quilt top. So that means today,
after Bible Study and after I get DD down for a nap, I will be cutting
the pieces I need for the third top.

All are a bit different - the first one is for the oldest son and has
lightening bolts on a blue background. it's a 3-2-3-2 (rows of
signature blocks) with the lightening bolt fabric between the sig
blocks, and lightening bolts fabric for the borders. The second is
for the middle child, and it is a 9-patch with the sig blocks in the
center, and 2 shades of blue for the rest of the block. Sashing for
that one is tonal blue with waves. The third one is for the youngest
child and will most likely be log cabin blocks with the "logs" being
made out of the same blues that were used in the second one (the
youngest 2 boys share a bedroom). Sashing will also be the wave
fabric. Finally, the one for the parents will be the one that takes
the most time. Each large block witll be made up of 4 sig.
blocks....the sig blocks will be divided by narrow sashing of one of
the colors that Leslie told me they have in their bedroom (hunter
green). Once that is done, the larger blocks will be turned into log
cabin blocks with the logs of gold and purple (also colors that are in
their bedroom). I'm hoping to make the 4th quilt queen sized, but am
not holding my breathe because I have limited space and time to get
these finished.

However...progress is being made!!! And once I get the tops done for
the last 2, I have to finish the one that I started for the carnival/
fundraiser for DSs PTA...well, at least I'mback into quilting for now,
but I will be flipping back to clothing in the near future, so I'm
trying to pace myself.
