I haven't made much progress on Patrick's quilt in the last month or so - I've been making shopping bags, place mats, etc. But now, I'm ready to get going again. I printed the templates for the larger squares, since I've completed the 144 4-inch squares that make up the center of the quilt. I think I need about 106 8-inch squares for the outside of the quilt. And tomorrow, I'm going to start cutting fabric for those larger squares.
I really would like to have this ready for Patrick for Christmas - but who knows. Maybe I can sign up for Quilt 'Til You Wilt one of these weeks and just work on these blocks.
Poor Patrick - I haven't finished his Christmas Stocking, either - and I've been working on that for about 15 years (well, I started it 15 years ago - I haven't really been working on it for that long!) I did, however, finish the counted cross-stitch picture of Pinocchio. I saw it the other day when Gene was cleaning off his bookshelves, so I took it and hung it in my quilt room. Makes me happy.
