I'm making progress

I am beginning to see some progress on my 6 challenge quilts for this year.  This is the center block of "Irish Mist".  There are 9 blocks of various sizes, plus 6 pieced border sections. One down, lots to go!

Here are some blocks from "Elm Creek" ~ 10 down and 5 to go - I believe I said in a previous post there are 12 blocks in this quilt  ~ I was wrong ~ there are 15 !! Ooops!
 
These are (4) 12 1/2" center blocks for my Baltimore Tulips ~ 4 down and 21 to go!  Better get on these!! I fused the tulips and hand stitched a blanket stitch ~ the stems and leaves are also fused and machine stitched. I am using 30's reproduction fabrics ( or facsimiles thereof) ) for this quilt.
"Patriotic Stars" ~ 6 down and 19 to go!  At least I have all of the 4 patches for the chains completed!!

I am still cutting strips for my "Log Cabin Christmas" quilt and waiting for fabric to put into my "Ocean Waves" blocks.  It has been a busy couple of weeks!  Piece on!!
