Carolina Straightaway and State Flower Quilt



I have been sewing and machine embroidering like a madlady the last few days, but don't have a lot to show for it. Here is the first half (without the border of course) of my Carolina Straightaway. I think that when it is finished I will like it a lot. I have also been working to catch up on my state flower quilt, and midstream I decided to also make one for my daughter as she seemed to like it. I have caught up the blocks, except today this week's came out and I need to do two of the Colorado blocks. Then, I will need to add the borders to 10 blocks, and I will be caught up until next week's block. Yeah! Meanwhile, I also need to finish the second half of my Carolina Straightaway top and then it's on to the 4 star blocks for the borders and it'll be smooth sailing. Next picture, hopefully will be my next 4 states with borders. Then it'll be 8 blocks done and 48 more to go. Good thing only one comes out a week.

Gosh, you have been busy. I do like the look of your C though, it's going to be great when you've finished.

I haven't been over to your blog in ages to see what you are up too. Your Carolina Straightaway looks great! Love the pictures of all the flowers you took too. I have a bunch of embroidery to do as well. Mostly quilt labels. You have been busy!
