Katniss is complete.  This is a 2025 UFO for me with five more to go on this year's list.  The red stripe is the binding which is all prepared and the white stripe is the back.  I am very happy with this project from Kim Diehl called Garnets and Lilies.  

I plan to pick up where I left off on Autumn Love.  I will be revisiting the project this week so I have some hand sewing to do in the evenings.  I am on the last side of binding on Knickers that might get me through tonight.  I should have a finished Knickers to share with you on Sunday.  Also will be able to claim used on Katniss and Children's Zoo since I am close to a complete on it.  So those numbers will change in a positive way.  I am thinking about Kid's Kingdom for Children's Zoo...any other ideas?


When I started trimming down the twelve blocks of Children's Zoo, I found a missed embroidery section in the penguin's eye.  I corrected that right away because missing now would be a big mistake.  Gives me pause to look twice on the blocks to make sure I completed all the embroidery.  So far this has been the only mishap.


This is the next step after squaring up the blocks.  All the blue markings on the blocks will vanish when washed so no iron hits these blocks until it is quilted and bound.  Otherwise the blue markings will set and that is not wanted for sure.


Here it is on my design wall coming together.  This is a bright quilt with the turquoise inner border and the multi color sprockets.  The sprockets fabric was a great find in Rosie's sale room.  It is 60" wide; pretty unusual size that works.  The zebra will go between the panda and the rhino.  Once the eye is embroidered on the penguin it will fit nicely next to the lion and the platypus.

That's it for today.  Going to be a hot one today in San Diego...hot for us San Diegans that is =^.^=
