WIP Wednesday #7

Not too much movement on my quilting projects this past week.  I have been embroidering though.  My birthday is this week and my whole family (in town) is going to the circus.  I made my nieces shirts to wear.  This will be their first circus.  I'm too excited!!

Current Projects:

Kaleidoscope Quilt Along

I've arranged the blocks and pinned them together.  My calculations were way off somehow and I need to sew 2 more blocks to make the quilt 5 blocks X 6 blocks.  Right now it's 5 blocks X 5 blocks. Not sure how I screwed up the calculations.  Will need to cut a few more pieces and sew them together this week to finish the quilt top.

BOM Paris in the Fall Quilt - still working the borders
Down and Across Lap Quilt - Almost ordered the dark fabric for the sides/rows.  Good thing I waited.  Hancock of Paducah's just sent me an email for free shipping.  Will go home tonight and calculate how much fabric I need for the back of the quilt too and order everthing at the same time.

Projects on hold (one's that I've forgotten about)
1. Quilt for my niece - Moda Bake Shop Snuggly Layer Cake Throw

2. Quilt for Aunt/Uncle #1 - Carousel Lap Quilt - Kim Schaeffer's Cozy Modern Quilts
    Still need to figure out what fabric I've purchased for this one

Goals for this upcoming week.
1. Kaleidoscope - finish quilt top
2. Paris in the Fall BOM - FINISH the borders!!!
3. Purchase dark fabric and backing for Down and Across.
