WIP: Panic Edition.

I'm starting to get a little nervous about my quilt to-do list. Or rather, the things I have to get done before Fava decides to make an appearance and permanently change my life. I have four quilts that I'd like to finish before he's here. FOUR. And one of them, I haven't even started. My kidlets have a tendency to arrive before their due dates, and if Fava follows this grand tradition, he could be here in as little as eight weeks. Four quilts--eight weeks. EEP!

But enough about that.

How 'bout this lovely? I made quite bit of progress on Fava's quilt in the last week, moving from having 3.5 arrows done to making the medallion and adding the two borders. I have finished quilts in less time than it's taken me to piece this bad boy, but it's so pretty, I'm not sure I mind. And, as my quilting sensei K reminds me, it's for my own kidlet, so it's okay to take that time.

The medallion is actually a copy of my May Stash Bee block. I had so much fun making it, and I thought it looked pretty sweet, so I made one for my medallion, then added the corners to transform it from a hexagon to a square. The arrows are Sarah's amazing free pattern, and the economy blocks are something I pieced together. I couldn't find measurements for the size I needed, so I guessed and got it close enough. I had to trim down my second round a bit, but otherwise, they worked out well. 

I've also printed the paper piecing templates for the baby quilt I've yet to start, and the other two need-to-finish quilts are finished tops with basic quilting plans, so when I get the courage to baste them, they should be fairly easy to finish. And my husband, the good man that he is, has volunteered to help me baste them. Well, he offered to baste them all by himself, but since he's never basted or even helped before, that makes me a bit nervous, so esteemed helper it is!

I'm linking up today with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced. I'll see you there!
