WIP It! WIP It Good! Challenge (week 2)

If you missed last week, you can check out all the details of my WIP (work in progress) challenge here.  I've also crossed some things off the to-do list on that post too!  Basically, I have a list of things I want to get done over the next month or so and am nosey about what projects everyone else is working on too.  I was feeling pretty productive this week and even did a mid-week post of my progress.

So, here is what I got accomplished this week:

1.  Finished the Quilts for Kids quilt and mailed it (see mid-week post for pictures). 

2.  On the "I Spy" quilt I cut squares, created a layout and sewed squares together in to the 13 horizontal rows.  There are some pictures on the mid-week post of this as well but here is one to show you how long the strips are.  There are 13 of them that I need to sew together now.

3.  I cut the vintage sheets I found in to fat quarters (an 18x22" piece of fabric).  Here is a sampling of what I am sending in for the swap.  As soon as I mail these I can cross that off my list too!

4.  I added to my to-do list, "Make a special present for someone I know".  Here is the fabric all cut up for that project.  I'm using the Charm Squares Baby Quilt pattern from Oh Fransson! (one of my favorite quilting blogs).  I didn't buy a charm pack though, I just picked out some fat quarters and cut them in to 5in squares.  Aren't the hippos, lions, birdies and flowers cute?!

Go ahead and link up for the first time or, continue to show your progress!  If you don't have a blog, let us know what you are up to in the comments.

I'm also sharing over at Sew and Tell!
