I used 6 yards for double flannel receiving blankets to be donated to Turning Point, a pregnancy resource center.  Four of these yards (coordinating solids/prints) were donated by a lady with the stipulation that they not be sold at a craft fair.  I had 2 pink prints, so I made a third receiving blanket.  I added lace to the edges of the pink and yellow blankets; I have had that lace for a long time--probably 20 years--and purchased it at a garage sale for very little.  These are nice warm blankets.

Then I used 7.67 yards for the Pink Block baby quilt (made 2).  The pink prints differ a little, but the pattern is the same.  I plan to quilt these heavily, trying new things, and will donate one (maybe both) to Turning Point also.  These were quick and the "quilting will make the quilt."

I started making a sleep bunting for the new grandchild, using a Winnie the Pooh fleece.  This isn't done, so it is not counted.  It will use one of the zippers in my stash of sewing stuff--feels good to use some of this stuff!

DH is gone this weekend to help a friend disassemble a hunting camp in the mountains.  After seeing all the snack food they took, I think they went to eat, not work!  While they are gone, I have stacked wood, done laundry, and caught up on the roly-poly penguins (FatCat patterns)--that was 6 blocks!  I think they are so cute and can't wait to do the last 3 and put it together.
