WIP Challenge- Wrap Up!

A few weeks back, I started a WIP (works in progress) challenge. In the past week, I finished up an "I Spy" picnic blanket and made a Quilts for Kids quilt top that my Aunt is going to quilt and bind.

"I Spy" Picnic Blanket:  182 5 inch squares - all different (acquired from a generous quilter on Flickr and this ongoing swap); 1 yard of sashing; aprox. 4 yard of backing; no batting to keep it lightweight for picnics.

Quilts for Kids quilt top using this pattern:

Here is my original to-do list as well as the progress:
1. Finish a Quilts for Kids quilt and mail - DONE!
2. Make an "I Spy" quilt - DONE! (pictures above)
3. Make an elephant quilt for Ray's Birtday - DONE!
4. Cut and mail vintage sheets for swapping - DONE!
5. Cut fabric for a New Wave quilt - never started
6. Make a fabulous prize for one of you namely, Amy at "House of Bad Cats" (please send me your mailing address) - not done yet.
7. Make a present for someone I know. - DONE!

I put links on the "DONE!" if you are interested in seeing my finished projects over the past few weeks.

So what's next?  Dresden Plate Party, Spiderweb Block Swap, and cutting that New Wave fabric!

I'm sharing this over at Sew and Tell Fridays and

WIP Challenge (half way to Tuesday check in)

If you still want to take part in my WIP challenge it's not to late to sign up!

I've made some headway on my to-do list already!  Knowing that I have promised to write in on Tuesday with my progress is a good motivator (that and it's been raining here the past few days).

I finished my Quilts for Kids quilt. I don't love the binding but it's the only thing in my stash that sorta matched (there is a black outline on all the fairies and flowers).  I mailed it too so, I can completely cross it off of my to-do list!

I cut lots of 5 in squares yesterday (some of the nearly 200 were already cut) and planned a lay out for the boys I Spy quilt (I plan to add a border or two, too).  I've also started to sew some of the strips together - aah progress!
