Thursday Threads link up

I am working furiously to finish up a baby quilt for my cousin's soon-to-be-here baby boy.   My whole family is super excited about this new addition, as my cousin will be the only other one to have children (except for my sister).  Babies are sooo fun!

I have a stockpile of Violet Craft's Madrona Road from my own stash and the MQG challenge from earlier this year.  I have had this pattern drafted up for a while and just needed the motivation to get started on it.

Here is the progress:

It's a crappy photo!  Sorry for the hotspot!  Anyway, the idea is a multiple sizing of churn dash blocks.  I'm using mainly 6", 9" and 12" blocks.  Yes, that is a teeny 3" block.  It was a test and I'm not sure if I'm gonna stick with those.  

I hope to have more progress made to share by Monday, but I am going to Winston tomorrow to visit some of the quilt shops there.  Amanda Murphy is coming to Sew Original tomorrow and there is the Quilt Carolina event going on in the Triad and Triangle!  My pocketbook is gonna be hurting after this weekend!

Y'all have a good one!
