Secret Squirrel Mini Quilt
This month’s Project Quilting Focus Through the Prism challenge theme was the 9-patch block. For my version of the challenge, I created a simple 9-patch design using orange fabrics.

Lot’s of quilty things have been happening since last week. As you know, from last week, I made a Monster’s Inc. baby blanket for my nephew Huxley, along with a matching taggie blanket. And now that Huxley is here, you get to see his cuteness with his new quilt. And no, I didn’t buy him…

I’ve had a bit of a busy month, with family reunions and out of town weddings, so even though I got my Project Quilting Focus Through the Prism challenge quilt pieced early in the month, I didn’t get around to finishing it until this week. This month’s challenge was flying geese. I’d never made one…

I feel like a slacker because I’ve hardly gotten anything done on my mini quilt since last week. The only thing I did get done was the hand embroidery. But at least my little baby whale is cute! What are you working on this week? Sharing over at: WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced, Let’s Bee…
