Saturday was a Make a Blanket Day for Project Linus. Even though I don't donate my quilts through this wonderful group, I decided to dedicate my weekend sewing to making kid's quilts. I got four tops completed and have two others in progress.
This first photo has Snoopy and Woodstock in St. Patrick's Day fabric. It measures 41" by 58". The binding will be the gold fabric. I used all of the Snoopy fabric and have less than half a yard of the gold and green fabrics left.
The next photo features John Deere fabric. I used the same gold that I used in the Snoopy quilt. In the John Deere farbic there is a touch of light blue, so I used that as the other alternating color. This way the quilt is not too dark. I have none of the blue or John Deere fabric left. The binding will be in the gold fabric. This quilt measures 40" by 57".
This next quilt has little orange fish in the center squares. It measures 43" by 52". I used up every bit of all three of these fabrics. Don't know what I will use to bind it, yet. 
This fourth quilt has Bugs Bunny in the center squares. I pulled the orange and green from the small carrots in the fabric. Love the green, which reminds me of the leafy part of the top of the carrot. This quilt measures 41" by 58". I will bind this one with the green. I have none of the Bugs Bunny or the green fabric left. Have several yards of the orange left. Just bought that a few weeks ago.
My quilting goals for this week.........
1. Quilt, bind and mail a baby quilt
2. Finish the pink/purple/white Jacob's Ladder blocks
3. Continue working on some QAYG blocks for the Australia project on Heartstrings.
What have you all been up to?? What are your goals for the week??

You got a lot done! I finally finished up the K-quilt top so now my Red/Brown/Pink Happy Blocks are on the design wall but I'll be gone a week and won't get them sewn together before I leave.
Another wonderful sewing day by Miss Darlene. You continue to amaze me with your productivity.
