I have two projects on my Design Wall. Above is my April UFO project. I have the rest of the pieces cut out and plan to finish up the sewing early this week. This is Barbara Brackman's Checkered Past design. I've made the squares 2" rather than 2 1/2" to make the finished size a bit smaller than the 65" x 65" finish of her design. It will get a black border and binding with a gray back. It is going so fast that it may be done this weekend.

Kwill is turning out nice too. I did have to adjust the called for size of the four brown batik squares to make it work. I have to put the last border in place and this project by Donna Lynn Thomas called Batik Feathers will be done.
I have to have time during this month to dream up my Sunshine Quilt Guild Clue Challenge since it is due in May. I have a "murderer", a "room", and a "weapon"! Chatted a bit with my sister about ideas and I have a start in mind... Won't be able to share much until after the competition!
I hope your Easter was what you wanted it to be. It was a beautiful cool and breezy day in San Diego. DH cooked a pork roast on the barbecue while I roasted fingerling potatoes, steamed fresh green beans, and sliced up some strawberries for dessert. If you find time today see other quilters playing in their sewing rooms through the links at patchworktimes.com.
Happy Easter!

# 9 UFO - April |
I started in on my April UFO on Saturday after sorting through fabrics to find the right scraps for the color and theme I have in mind. A bunch of progress has been made since then, but you'll have to come back tomorrow to see progress!

| Kompass |
I finished completely Kompass (Norah McMeeking's Sewing in the Round with Caryl Bryer Fallert's Flying Geese in a Quarter Circle) and I'm on the final assembly of Kwill. I just became too involved with Kurosity to do more than cut the fabrics for the setting triangles and borders on Kwill. Tomorrow I hope to have more to show.
Used this week: 5.25 yards
Used YTD: 91 yards

| Checkered Past |
Did you have a chance today to see the UFO Parade of Finishes on Aunt Marti's 52Quilts.com? If you haven't it is a must see. I have three quilts in the Parade, two Bonnie Hunter and one Judy Niemeyer. Kabuki which is the third one you will see is my finish for March.

You must be wondering by now why I have included the photo at the top of my post. It is project #9 that Aunt Marti has chosen for the April UFO. I don't have a start on any of this other than having the pattern in hand and my skinny stash of reproduction fabrics. Of course there might be a chance to raid Kerry's reproduction stash =^.^=
So for now here is what I can tell you about my project that will be called Kurosity. It is a pattern by Barbara Brackman called Checkered Past. My friend Debra alerted me to this design which I downloaded FREE from the web. More on my project during the month... for now I'm thinking of using the leftovers from Konqueror a project that I finished last year about this time. The purples weren't as apparent in Konqueror, but I'm sure Kurosity will give them the attention they deserve.
Happy Hump Day!
