I have been up to WAY too much, but I have a bit of a breather for a second. I actually counted that I have 8 quilts in progress right now and 3 smaller projects that I need to start, but nothing with an exact due date and most of it is for fun.
Here are the items I would like to finish in the next month:
I completed the first block for my Kite Flight Quilt. Robert Kaufman is having a quilt-along on Flickr and you can follow along at #kiteflight. If you want to join in on the fun, the free pattern is here for the 2.5″ roll-up version I am making. There is also a 1.5″ strip version to use with RK’s new skinny strips that are coming out next month and that pattern is available here.
I have all my triangles cut and I am working on piecing my blocks. I’m excited to see how this looks all together. I’m loving those big Kumiko Fujita text prints.

Next is a Superhero baby quilt I am making for a friend who is due in October. The shower is in a couple weeks, so I’d like to get it quilted by then. I am co-hosting the shower at my house, so we’ll see if I get the quilt done in time!
Lastly, I want to get this Robot quilt done by my son’s birthday. He’s turning 4, so really, if it’s not finished, he won’t care. He sleeps in a twin bed now, but all he has is his little baby quilt, so he needs a BIG boy quilt. The pattern is called “Does Not Compute” from Boo Davis’s book, “Dare To Be Square”. I’ve been collecting tone on tone and white on tone robot/outer space fabric and I’m just waiting on a bit more.

That’s it for now! I’m trying to find time to write up various free patterns and tutorials that I really want to share with all of you, so keep checking back.
Linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
Lots of gorgeous projects here! I really really love the super heroes quilt – so much fun.
The super hero quilt is fantastic! My daughter (3 yrs old) is looking over my shoulder as I type this and she says her favourite is the “rainbow quilt” 🙂
Love the rainbow quilt – the the Kumiko Fujita prints work so well in there! And I am also on a mission to make a baby-quilt-replacement, for my youngest who is now in a proper sized bed and curled up under a baby-sized Single Girl quilt. Haven’t picked either fabric or pattern yet though 🙂
Love the Kite Flight quilt! Your new header is fantastic! You are a busy quilter…

Sounds like you are pretty busy. I can’t wait to see the Superhero baby quilt finished. I love this quilt. The robot quilt will be cute as well. I want to make my girls some quilts for their bunk beds next year! Great progress though.
Loving the robots! I used some robot fabric in a couple baby quilts I made for a little boy and his soon to be sibling. Turns out the baby was a girl, so now she’s sleeping with some rad yellow robots 🙂
My goodness. Did you find some extra hours in a day? I love all these projects and I look forward to your sew cute Tuesdays : )
It’s “funny” how one can have everything current and turn around and there’s many projects where there were none! Whoa! Wha-a-a!! Where do they come from!! OK, we all know, but REALLY!!! I am currently in the same ‘boat’. Your “robot” quilt will be wonderful….love it! And the “Superhero” prints are utilized so perfectly in those blocks!! Such bright fun stuff! You go, Girl!!!!! I’m with ya! Hugs…….
I keep seeing photos of people making this quilt on instagram but cannot find it on flickr. Your blocks are beautiful.
