Doesn’t that sound like the title of a James Bond movie, if he was a quilter instead of an international super spy? Hrm.
Anyways, in between the madness of triangles, I have been pushing to get some baby quilts put together. With my own due date approaching, and my growing belly starting to limit mobility around prepping fabrics, I’m trying to make sure I can get the things on my list done, and even get a little ahead of myself, before the baby arrives.
In the last few weeks, I’ve accumulated a stack of three completed tops and their associated backs. I had the ideas and wanted to make them before I forgot, but was also waiting on basting supplies. I ran out of basting spray on the quilt of just barely, and found out that my local quilt shop no longer carries 505 Spray. After a little comparison shopping, I ordered four cans online (Connecting Threads seems to have the best price-per-ounce, at least by a small margin, especially if you order enough for free shipping). I also had no desire to repeat franken-batting, so I was waiting for a Joann’s coupon to come in the mail to go get some more Warm & White (which, on principle, I never pay full price for).
Well, now I’ve got it all. Enough procrastinating. Hopefully this will soon become a stack of quilted almost-finishes, waiting for binding. And, of course, waiting for their respective babies to be born so they can each get a label with a name and a birthday…
OOoh, look at that pile of fabulousness! Can’t wait to see them all finished. And I loved “Just Barely,” by the way. The colors on the grey background remind me of how the light is in Spring here, which I am missing/anticipating!
Best,

Wow, what a cool pile of very-almost-finished-ness!
I really like the fabrics in the top one.

A teaser post! I am trying to unfold all those fabrics and match up the fronts and backs in my head – not very successfully. Look forward to seeing the final products.
I have a charm pack of Blackbird Designs Beach House fabric. I’d mate it to it to make a pinwheel quilt– selfishly for myself… my last two were given away…
Throw my name in the bucket….Have a Great Wednesday…
Those all look yummy! My LQS no longer has 505 either
The other brand I like is Sulky and Joann’s no longer seems to carry it. Hancock is going to have it 50% next week so I plan to stock up.. ie… buy all they have.

[...] way back in JULY OF 2009. Whoops. I pieced the top together in the midst of Triangle Madness. I basted and quilted it and did the binding a few weeks ago, and have just been waiting for this little one to make his [...]
