Sitting Pretty Update 2

I am making progress with Sitting Pretty.

The borders are on, and the quilt top is pin-basted.

On to the quilting.   After June, I think.

I am getting my ‘Grandma Fix’.  Five grandchildren, 2 daughters, and a son-in-law will be visiting this month.

YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!!

Sneak Peek 2

Just in case you think I have forgotten, or maybe rolled this quilt into a ball and labeled it another UFO:

I have the same disease as my blogger friend, Jenny Lyon.  It is the “quilt it to death” disease.  My saving grace is that I am not a perfectionist.  Even so, this project is taking longer than it needed to.

It isn’t a show quilt.  It isn’t an artsy quilt.  A nice edge-to-edge quilting design would have been fine.

I am using Aurifil 50 weight in both the top and the bobbin.  But not the same color, so I will have ‘pokeys’ (Oh horrors!). 

As I said, I am not a perfectionist.

And it is spring (I wanna be outdoors!).  And I have a day job.  And I can come up with lots of excuses.

But I will finish.  This year.

Here’s a quick sneak peek at what I’m working on:
