Regroup and back to Modern Cathedral Window quilt

I prepared the binding for the Hidden Wells quilt and have that put away until I can get back into my barn to get the quilt sandwich put together.

Soooo, back to the Modern Cathedral Window quilt.  The background fabric has arrived and I think I have enough squares cut out to make the 120 or so blocks I still need to complete. 

I am also working on designing updated cutting and piecing methods to make old fashioned quilt blocks.  I want them to finish at 12 inches and use charm squares, jelly rolls and fat quarters.  When I get a few more worked out, I will post them as a "Block of the Month" quilt.  

And, in my "spare" time, I am practicing free motion quilting on my home machine.  I mostly do echo quilting or quilt-in-the-ditch with my walking foot, so this will be a real adventure!

I joined the Ft. White Quilt Guild on Yahoo Groups yesterday and am looking forward to meeting some new quilting friends.  I am pretty busy for the next couple of months, but 2013 is a whole new year!

Happy quilting!
