Today I started sewing on the McCalls Quilting BOM "America the Beautiful." I pieced the Shining Sun Block: I couldn't believe it--When I finished the block and went to square it up. It was an exact 12" X 12"! Then I worked on the "Fields Block". It is sewn "on point"-(Is that the right term Amy?) It is 8 1/2" X 56". Now I need to set my mind to the idea--that, "Yes, Linda, you can cut templates and sew the pieces into a block!" I need to use templates to make the "Barn Block."
On New Year's day (while DH watched football) I pieced the quilt top for the baby due in March if he is a boy. I know---It is almost just like Cole's. Well at least I changed the border colors. I have the fabric cut to start on the "If the new baby is a girl" quilt. At school this week there are two new referrals for students that need to be tested to determine if they are Students with a Specific Learning Disability.
Friday Night Sew-In is coming this Friday night. A Virtual Sew-in to work on all those MUF's, UFO's, or projects that we want to work on!!! I am looking forward to it. How about you?
I would like to finish the new baby boy quilt and work on piecing the baby girl quilt.

Your BOM is really lovely. Are you using all the same fabrics that are in the picture?
The baby quilt is cute. I can't believe you are making two. When I didn't know girl or boy I just made a colorful one... but now that I think back, one of my daughters commented that it was so bright the baby couldn't sleep under it!
Great start for a lady as busy as you.The new baby's quilt is lovely.
Hope your DIL is keeping well.
Cute quilt! In your header is an identical cute quilt with a cute baby too! You've got yourself surrounded with cuddly type stuff, don't you? And I know you appreciate all of it too. Wonderful.
On point is definitely what I could consider those units to be :0)
**sigh** more referrals huh? What is up with our world today? (A) More chemicals in our foods? (B) Less knowledgeable parents attempting to bring up children? (C) More drug/alcohol babies? (D) More advanced content being taught earlier (too early) for children? Maybe a bit of (E) all of the above???
HEY! While digging (organizing) through a stack of fabric the other day, I came across a swatch of John Deere fabric; I'll have to see about gettin' it to you. Never know when you'll need some more :0) I don't think it was a scrap....there was a bit more to it than that.
Surfed from Maria's blog. I have enjoyed my stay you are doing some great work on the machine and in the family.
