if I have a "screw loose" or something. :) If there is one thing I do not need to do - it's sign up for a sew-along. But I couldn't resist! There are a couple of interesting things going on out there in blogland and this is the first (but probably not the last) that I have succumbed to. It's a quilt called "Goodnight Irene" and I have the button for it on my sidebar if you want to visit
Terry's blog and see all the gorgeous progress so far. There are a lot of people that have signed up. Check out her sidebar and you'll see where she has a linky party for the month. This month our "assignment" was to make the first 5 blocks... so I did (and before the month was over)!
I'm using batiks, and as I said a few days ago, I like how they look but I don't care for sewing with them. However, this is coming along nicely, although I think the fabric I've chosen for my X blocks may overwhelm the batiks a bit. We'll see as it progresses.
And, I have been busy doing other quilty things too. I've got three quilts that have now been pin-basted and I've just begun the quilting on the Fractured quilt. I'm showing you a pic of the mystery quilt just to give you a tiny glimpse of what I did for the border.
Take care,

I think that cross fabric is going to be awesome. I hope you have enough for a border too.
Your blocks look great! It's so much fun to see what everyone else is making their blocks with! :0)
This is so much fun Terri! Glad to see you hop on board. And you mystery quilt is gorgeous!!
I love sewing with batiks! This looks like a fun quilt to make.
I like your 'x' blocks. Can't wait to see it put all together.
I like that cross fabric too , I think it really perks the blocks up !
Beautiful!
Yup--you and I definitely have more than a few screws loose--said lovingly. Likely it already. And want to see the Fractured.
Your crosses will stand out. Looking good
It look very nice, I can't wait to see your progress.:)
You have an interesting choice for your fabrics. Your quilt will be very pretty.
Your X's fabric is so much fun! These fabrics are going to make a nice Goodnight Irene quilt.
Your blocks look great. Love those beautiful batiks.
I am really loving that background fabric and can't wait to see how it plays out.
Your "Good-night, Irene" is going to be beautiful.
Beautiful fabrics. This is going to be a striking quilt. I love sewing batiks.
