(Pix to come - eventually!)
Egads - I'm up to Number 20 (and probably a lot closer to #1 by now~!) on the UFO Queen's list on Stashbusters - something to NOT be proud of! Trust me on that one! Ah well, never mind - I'll have a week before I have to pay in a FQ should I hit the #1 spot! And I have the little baby quilt that would be just right for it!
The numbers for May on the Numbered UFO list are - #12 - which is Four Patch Revisited and #53 which is Jamestown Landing, both Bonnie Hunter's patterns!. I truly do NOT expect to be at the final quilting on either of these - but will be instead be glad to get them to the flimsy stage!~ I'm still at the practice a lot on the FMQ - and choose to do my practicing on table toppers of some description and baby blankets! Hence the baby blankets!
As for pictures of either of these - well, ulp! I don't have any yet - but I WILL have them! and WILL update my flimsy gallery as soon as I get the pix taken!
Mostly though I'm working on Jamestown landing - and considering that prior to this month I only had 35 string blocks out of the 168 needed and that my dd and I have been doing swaps with her portion being 500 blue and white HST which would be coming my way 100 at a time (I need 840 of these doodads!)...... well, all of a sudden things started moving faster - and Wendy sent 400 to go with last month's 100 and I got busy on paperpiecing the remainder of the string blocks! Currently I'm putting together the alternate rows (the star rows are DONE!) and will be making the remaining blue and white HSTs after I figure out exactly where I am with what!
Originally I had thought of changing the color of the intervening unit block to green - or gold - or red - because I was afraid there wouldn't be enough color in there! ROFLOL! Even though the string blocks are "light" - they are comprised of ALL KINDS of lights and I just love them! Definitely enough color in there with the string blocks looking "light" from an onlooker point of view! Love this quilt!

Re the Four Patch Revisited - I have ALL the little blocks leftover from when I downsized Bodacious to a baby quilt which I gave Evan. While I don't have any double pink like Bonnie used - I do have several other pinks and am switching my LE to attaching the triangles for the square in a "square" (the tiny Bow-dacious 4 patch blocks)! Still need to figure out what other color to use! This will probably be a quilt for my bed - uhm - an alternate winter quilt???? not sure! (My Log Cabin is first choice!) This is the LE as stated - HOWEVER since it is also a May quilt - it is of short term duration - and LE will revert back to the Orange Crush quilt once Jamestown Landing is done!
