As for myself, I will have to post my link right at the end because I am behind.  I have been playing with family and barely got some fabrics figured out and a design.

Me Without You has only had "planning" done so far this month.

I pulled my very pale blues and yellows from the collection.  I feel like the piecing can overwhelm the embroidery if it is too bold.

This photo is poor lighting - sorry. It really doesn't show you my idea at all, but I plan to put a small frame around each block in the pale yellows and blues, followed by a white applique' frame that will be curvy.  They will have a final setting in the blue floral.  Trust me, it should end up better than it looks.

Will I get it done this week?  Not!

I did get the cute little farm quilt done in time for the baby shower!

My daughters did a great job planning it.

We all put iron-on decals on onesies for her.  They were fun and cute!

Here is a sweet story written by baby's great grandma who took many years to finish his baby quilt.  It is a story maybe some of us can relate to.
