WIP: The beginning of the Sunburst Quilt

I have some works in progress to report this week!  Wahoo!  Summer is so close I can taste it!  There are only two more days of school left and I took today and yesterday off because my babysitter had graduations to attend.  It has been so nice to stay home with my boys (they are getting so big and are tons of fun to hang out with!) and do a little bit of sewing during their nap times.

I have lots to do in the next few months!  We have a wedding, an anniversary, and a new baby coming soon.  Things are starting to move along on the wedding quilt I am making.  I originally thought about making a Sparkle Punch quilt using this awesome bundle of fabrics that I won from Kati.
 I thought it would be perfect for a colorful quilt - my favorite!  But the bride requested something modern with green and brown.  So have something else planned.  It's going to be really cool - totally different than anything I have EVER done.  I can't wait to show you more as I make more progress!  Here is what I have so far:


I also did some work on my Fandango quilt.  I have *almost* three sections quilted.  Only two more sections to go!

AND I made a bunch of burp cloths over the past few weeks.  It feels nice to get back into things again.

I'm linking up this week!

Burp Cloths

I have been plunking away slowly on my Fandango quilt, but in the meantime I have been making burp cloths for several friends who have been having babies.
My inspiration came mostly from a pair of burp cloths that were given to me by a neighbor, although I did model Olivia's burp cloth after the ones in Natalia's Tutorial (except that I just did a straight stitch 1/4 away from the edges so that they will fray a little).

Here they are!
