Giveaway Winner and Weekend Accomplishments

Thanks to all those who entered the Quilter's Way giveaway. The random number generator chose #3: Rosa - who said she loves "Ruby." The most popular response for everyone's favorite collection from 2011 was Windham's Echo.

My son finally graced us with two uninterrupted nights of sleep over the weekend, so I finally found some energy to work on a few projects. Here they are on my design wall: The plus quilt was a dream to make - one evening of cutting and arranging, another evening to put it together. It was so quick and I love the way it looks. My only regret is adding that "Swell" bird print - I realized too late that it is very "off white" while my other white prints are very bright.

To the side of the plus quilt is a quick beginning of a table topper I needed to make in preparation for the weekend's BMQG meeting. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the meeting due to the snowstorm on Saturday.

I also started a diaper bag that I hope to finish today. "Nesting" via sewing projects is a lot of fun.
