I haven’t been doing much in the quilty department.  We had a big party for my baby boy yesterday – he’s officially 10!  And most of the week was spent prepping for that.

Next week is my cousin’s baby shower in Northern California.  I do not need to do much for it because I’ve already done everything I was supposed to do.  The girl has to finish the props for one of the baby shower games but that’s her job.  I mention it because we’re heading up Thursday evening and will not be back until Monday evening.  That means no quilting until I return… other than my hand projects, of course.  I’ll bring them along like I usually do but I usually do not get much done on them.  I still have Moon Glow on my sewing table and I’m slowly working through Month 12.  Scrapitude’s clue #3 was released and two weekends have passed without me doing anything with it.  I still stand behind my decision to finish Moon Glow while I still know where I’m at in the project.  However, I’m getting antsy because I don’t want to fall behind with it.  Which may happen over the next few weeks anyway.  After we get back from NorCal, we’re heading to Vegas to finish up Spring Break.  Which means another weekend with no sewing!  I am happy to be going even if I will miss quilting.  I think I’m going to take advantage of the travel and visit quilt shops on the way.  I’m going to drop by a shop in Berkeley and maybe in Santa Cruz and then in Vegas when we’re there.  So I’ll be doing some adding to the stash over the next couple of weeks.  🙂

I’ll try to keep posting even if it’s just a line to say hi and post a pic!

But I played with fabric this week.  It’s just been really slow.  I’ve been working on Moon Glow and Month 12 has 20 different fabric.  the first 6 steps were cut, cut, piece a little bit, and cut a lot more.

Month #12

This was step 3 and the next step was to cut 12 strips of 1-3/4″ for each set.

Step 5 was a whole ‘nother 8 pieces of fabric that I needed to cut 12 strips of 1-3/4″ each again.  I didn’t take a picture of it.  During the week, I would do 1 or 2 as I was able to.

Step 6, 7, 8  was to put together Block Area 4, 5, and 2/3

Then I had more cutting to do…

Moon Glow Month 12 Step 9 Cut More!!! 3/14/15

yup – another 12 strips of 1-3/4″ for each of those pieces… 🙁

I figured I would be happy yesterday if I got it all cut and ready for me to put together.

I did a lot more..

I cut everything…

Now it’s smooth sailing!  Everything is all cut so all I need to do is put together all the pieces…

I prepped my table for the next step..

Organization is key for Moon Glow in general but most especially for month 12.  I placed a lot of numbers for the fabric # and then the block area #.  I have clue #3 for Scrapitude but I’m afraid if I put Moon Glow away I’ll forget what I was doing and have to re-organize myself.  I think I’ll just power through and get these 12 alternating blocks done before I move on to the next thing.
