Five little dresses

I finally finished the five little dresses I am making for those little sprites.  Now to make a couple pair of shorts for the boys and buy t-shirts.  Then I will make jammies.  I just kept getting distracted with other projects.  There just isnt enough sewing time in a day.

Here is why there isnt enough time.
I have been learing to piece quilt tops from you tube and came across a tutorial for jelly roll race quilt tops.  I cut some jelly roll strips, (they are too expensive for me to buy) and made a quilt top.  Its long and narrow so I am going to cut it into two crib quilts.  I hope to get the batting and backing soon.  My plan is to quilt the tops by stitch in the ditch method.

This top will make a great crib quilt.  I am excited to learn to quilt.  We need a quilt or something for our king sized bed and I thought I had better start with something smaller to get the hang of it. 

The first piecing I did are these two quilt blocks.  I joined a quilt block exchange so I thought I'd better learn to piece blocks.  I have until December to made a dozen or so of these.  They are easy to make using a tutorial on you tube.  I think I can make the rest up in just a day or so. 

 These pictures are not in the right order.  This is what the blocks look like after you sew both blocks and cut them.  Its a fun way to do it.  You stack them, mark a line down the middle, sew on each side of the line and then cut down the line and then you have two triangle blocks.

 These are the same blocks just turned a different way. 

This is what the blocks look like first.
