Progress?

Even though I am sewing quite a bit each day, I feel I am just not making the progress I expect to be making. I thought I would take some sort of inventory and share with you all.

Here is the baby quilt so far. I am working on the next row but the sashing is taking me forever! I must admit I am sort of a perfectionist and would really like this quilt to be nice and straight! I like it so far but it has to be done in 4 weeks for the baby shower. I hate working with a deadline. The few items I have made over the years for paying customers tend to take all the fun out of quilting. It's supposed to be fun and relaxing but it's very difficult with a deadline hovering over my head.

These are my 4-patch squares for the mystery quilt from my quilt guild. Unfortunately, I have to make 100! Last month, we only had to sew strips together. This month, those strips had to be cut down and made into 4-patch squares. I had to cut 200 pieces to get the 100 squares. Time consuming!!

However, I did finish both slipper! They were so fun to make and they came out so cute!I've also started the cutest scarf out of the same magazine, Jane Austen Knits. Just what I needed, another project!!

I am also still working on my hand sewn hexagons and still practicing my free motion quilting for the challenge. I actually feel  a little better after writing this post. I guess I am making some progress. Maybe it's not as fast as I'd like, but I'm getting there!!
