i've had lots of sewing time this week- i'll have to remember to be especially thankful for that come June, July and august...
i'm very pleased with how my Full Stop quilt is coming along! i decided to make it 65" wide, and arrange the punctuation in rainbow order. i added a lime green spacer row between the yellow quotations and green brackets. i'll sew the rows together as we complete each color. i'd like this quilt to be about 85" long when done.
and just because it's the green month: here's another I Spy quilt i'm making for my DIL's sister. E was recently widowed, and she has 3 young children. (her husband was a police officer, killed in the line of duty) I've been feeling that i need to spread my quilts out a bit more, so this was a perfect opportunity to use some more of my I Spy 5" squares.
it's hard to tell from the {poor} lighting in the picture, but the solid blocks are a hunter green.
i plan on quilting it this morning while listening to our Saturday Morning Radio Shows (anyone ever listened to Ranger Bill? {warrior of the woodlands...})

Nice job on finishing up your GREEN row for Full Stop, Jennifer! Best of luck with the quilting of that iSpy quilt. Such a cozy and thoughtful gift.
Love paisley fabrics, have no idea why! Your projects look great.
So sad to read of the young family whi have lost their dad and husband, I'm sure your eye spy quilt will bring some comfort. Guess you will have to make the three children one each?
What a sweet gesture to make a quilt for a family going through such a difficult time. Your Fullstop blocks are looking great!
Your Full Stop quilt is coming along nice and I like that you already have a size in mind. Good luck! How nice of you to make a quilt for your DIL's sister. There's not usually too much mention when a police officer goes down. My heart aches for her and her family.
