Got some quilting done...

...And plenty more to go! I finished the quilting on my Civil War Quilt.
I like the way it turned out. I am not sure what the pattern is called, sorry.
I am working on a small Scrappy Toes one now, ( the tread keeps breaking and I am having tension problems, which hasn't happened in YEARS) the leftover blocks from the Green and Purple one that I don't have done yet either, but it is close. It was the UFO #6 in the challenge. Getting one done a month didn't sound so hard at the time....but I DID do other things...
The UFO number picked for February, is the #10, which is Ancient History.
(again, sideways...) This seems to be an easy pattern, so hopefully I can get that one done, or close.
I started drafting Mark and Li's quilt, but just didn't have the right tools...So I ordered protractors, and a quilting ruler for making mariner's compass', so I should be ready to go. Now I again have to find my way. I ALMOST had it, but not quite. My geometry just isn't very good. Of course, when it "clicks" then I won't have to do it again for another few years, and will forget...

And then there is Katie's Dr. Seuss, which in THEORY was supposed to be done at Christmas. I guess I am just not good at deadlines...
Good thing I will be going to Chicago with Bill next week, I will get to pound them out with not distractions. Could be I am just slow too.
