I stopped to take a break. I don't have any photos, but I've been busy yesterday and today cutting out quilts to work on during the retreat I am going on this week.

I got my dining room table quilt cut out. It was easy cutting, but time consuming too. I had more fabrics than I thought I did. I'm glad I decided on the Disappearing 9-Patch for the design. It was easy cutting. I couldn't decide how big I wanted to make my blocks, so I took the easy way and cut them the width of my ruler, which was 6 inches. All of my little squares are pretty together. It was hard not to start sewing, but I knew I had more cutting out to do!
Today, so far, I have cut out Cameron and Brayden's race car quilts. I haven't decided on Gatlin's, yet. He's almost 2 and doesn't need a twin size quilt. I have more panels and some left over fabric. I'm sure I'll come up with something.
Next I am going to start cutting out Alexis' quilt (there I go again with the palm sweat thing. As long as I have been quilting you would think that something like this wouldn't scare me, but it does. I guess I just like for everything to be pretty and work out the right way). I have lots of fabrics, so it should be cute, once I figure out how it's going to look.
I better get busy again!

I don't enjoy the cutting out part. My back gets sore, sign of old age I gues. By the way, I loved the fabrics pictured in the previous post, can't wait to see how your quilts turn out! Have fun at your retreat.
