Progress on Jackson's quilt

I completed the baby quilt top for J and R's baby-to-be. Now to layer and quilt it. I'm hoping it isn't too formal, but I just fell in love with the pattern and wanted something traditional. I'll sit on it a week or so and let the quilting muse strike me for just what patterns to quilt.

Baby to be quilt for Jackson

I finally took pics of the Hot Shot quilt top begun at the March retreat, and finished with the borders a la Pat Speth style at the May retreat. It is queen sized, and will eventually go on my bed. This is it, now destined to percolate in the recesses of my mind until I'm ready to layer and quilt it.



I also dug into the huge pile of shirts for Tom R. and spent an afternoon cutting and tearing them up to get to the logos for a t-shirt quilt. Next step is to spend a day or so ironing on stabilizer to their backs. Then the fun begins, laying them out on the design wall, selecting fabrics, and creating a top or two out of them. I don't know if I'll try to layer and quilt my Dad shirt quilt before I tackle quilting Tom's quilt. Probably should so I know what works and doesn't on this style of quilt.
