For the Simply Retro Quilt Along I'm participating in at Jana's blog,
we are starting on the third project in the book. But first I wanted to bring you up to speed with the progress of the first two I have started. You can also check out more of Simply Retro on Flickr.
My first Simply Retro project "Swell" which I did in red, white and blue had been delayed in the quilting department. I decided to quilt it in the Baptist Fan design, but I wasn't happy with how it was turning out with the machine. SInce I had to spend a day in a hospital waiting room, I decided that I would quilt it by hand (a first for me) and so it's taking a while to finish. See how it's turning out.

The other project in the works is "Retro" a great block with a splash of color popping in the quilt.
This is a baby quilt, and I have a feeling I'll be delivering this quilt after the baby arrives. I am waiting for this great fabric I found (and was not supposed to buy) to get here to finish it.
The theme of the baby's room is ocean and although there are sand dollars on the front of the quilt, I think the back of the quilt will be more popular, LOL! I may do some patch work for the back so it has two great sides.
