Happily quilting along ...

that seems to be the current theme here. Once I got my act together and assembled the whole thing, I could move to things I like better about quilting. I've rearranged all the animal panels along the grassy border and am currently appliqué-ing them.

The baby quilt is moving along fine now that I finally broke out my sewing machine and started assembling it. Until earlier this weekend, I had busied myself mainly with pinning and prepping, but now I'm getting a bit spooked because time is getting away from me here. I'll finish machine-assembly tonight and then I'll hand-applique the animals and have a think about the dimensions of the quilted sun that's to go into the centre. Wish me luck!

PS: as you can see, the most important thing's already in place - my label!
