Only 3 1/2 weeks to my due date!
This week, I quilted 8 more blocks on my Aunt Martha's Irish chain. The plan is to finish it in the coming week. I also assembled the last baby quilt top for the "To Do" list and began machine quilting it. I hope to finish it too in the coming week.
I made myself a dumpy skirt with two yards of blue vines for wearing in the last few weeks (not much fits anymore) and for after the baby is born (when I tighten the elastic). I also had to make a spur of the moment doll quilt for a birthday party on Sunday. The Assistant helped pick the green fabric, but not she says it's "not cute." What does that mean? I finished a log carrier for DH (the other wasn't big enough, so now we're ready for next winter!).
Finally, I cut the pieces for a red and cream quilt that I hope to finish this summer.
I have now finished 10 spools of thread for the year.
IN this week: 0 yards
IN YTD: 48 1/2 yards
OUT this week: 3 1/2 yards
OUT YTD: 72 yards
YTD Total: 23 1/2 yards OUT
I'm almost half-way to my goal for the year, but I do intend to shop before Q is born. Still, I will not have far to go after he's born, so I won't be in a hurry to get back to finishing projects after he's born.
Goals for the week are: finish the Irish chain quilt, finish the friendship star baby quilt, make the red and cream pieces into a top, and make a floor quilt out the the map fabric I wrote about last week. The baby quilts take top priority!

The way you are so busy, I wouldn't be surprised if you have less than 3 and a half weeks to go! Get those feet up, you won't get much chance after the baby is here I am sure!! Such an exciting time - I am wishing you all good things for the next few weeks, xka
You have used up a lot of fabric for only two months into the year, great going.
