I finished the Churn Dash baby quilt. I used pink Realtree camo flannel for the Churn Dash blocks. The background fabric is a dotted print (it doesn't show up very well in the pictures).

I used most of the extra fabric to make 2 flannel/satin blankets to go with the quilt.

Yes, the satin is washable. I took these pictures after I'd washed and dried everything. I even pre-washed all the fabrics before I made anything.
I had some scraps left, so, I decorated a couple of burp rags.

This is what the background fabric looks like.

All of these are for my BFF's newest grandbaby, which is due in a few days. I'd better get these in the mail.
I tried a new technique for finishing my binding ends. Chris Lynn Kirsch showed this on her blog. It is called '
No-End Binding'.

This was a great way to do the binding ends. I'll be using this method again. Thanks Chris!
Other than on Tuesday, when we went to Sewing, Etc. to stitch, I haven't gotten much sewing done this week. I just haven't been in the mood. I've sat in my sewing room and organized while watching movies. Hopefully I'll get in the mood quickly, since I have several projects that really need to get done. Some of them I haven't even started yet. Sometimes when I have so many projects due, I find it hard to even get started. I think it becomes a bit overwhelming. Do you ever get that way? What do you do about it?
