21st finish for 2017

Another baby quilt done! This one turned out 36 1/4" x 48". I used one of my pieced together with scraps batts, quilted it with Signature quilting thread, and used pieced together soft white backing scraps. I call this a step zig zag design since it looks like stair steps. I have two more step zig zag quilt tops to sew the blocks together and quilt before I will be done with my pink phase.

I ended up getting seven baby quilt sized batts made from my pile of scraps. There were two pieces of batting that were already the right size. I am set for batts for the next eight baby quilts.

While I was digging around in my fabric storage room, I found a hunk off batting that must have been the end of a roll. There are several yards so I have more for baby quilts!

Here is my pile of backing scraps. I plan on piecing together what I can and use it for the baby quilts. I would prefer to have a print for the back, but it is what it is.

I spent all day Saturday clearing out one of the bedrooms. The floor sanding guy is coming the 11th and I have to get everything out of two bedrooms and the living room. I lost track of how many trips I made carrying clothes, framed items, and furniture to the lower level of the house. I have a donate pile of clothes that I will drop off today. I still have some furniture that needs move.

I have had floors refinished before so I know how much work it is to move several rooms of furniture. You are getting a lot of steps in! My Fitbit died and I'm still waiting for a replacement. I miss it.

It will be worth all of the bother and mess! You better start working on some other color baby quilts. You know now that the next 7 babies will be boys!
