I have been cutting scraps, though, getting ready to make a snail trail quilt with stars for my BIL. My husband is pretty good about not making comments when the dining room table looks like this for days on end.

I made a sample block for my quilt, but I'm not really happy with it because it is not quite the right size, and it really isn't square.   I need more practice.  Fortunately, I have a lot of scraps to practice on.

Just a friendly warning:  don't google snail trail without adding 'quilt block', or you will get quite an education! 

All three of my finish-a-long projects are complete.  There was just a little bit of cross stitching  and back stitching left to do on this, so it is hard to see the progress.

My Orca Bay top is done.  My king sized quilt is quilted and bound. Maybe I should have chosen 4 projects instead of 3 to get done this quarter.  But now that I have completed 3 UFOs, it feels like I have month to play, and I like that.
