I have been so busy piecing this last month that I have spent little time quilting. I have finished the quilt top for my granddaughter today. She loves pink so there is a lot of it in it for her quilt. This is a scrap quilt — lots of different fabric in it. I got the idea for this one from a website called http://www.backporchdesign.com/ this designer also sells acrylic templates on her site for the drunkards path pattern and let me tell you they worked out really well! I am so glad I purchased them. Now that I am done piecing the tops for the grandchildren they will be put aside for several weeks until I get my batting. I like the batting called Quilters Dream and I will get that in two weeks when I go shopping in Little Rock and stop at the quilting store there called Blossom Quiltworks, http://www.blossomquiltworks.com/ the backing for these two tops I am getting from a shop locally called the Calico Ladies Fabric Shoppe and Art Doll Studio http://www.paulasdollhouse.net/ she carries the wide fabric making it unnecessary to piece your back together. Both of these quilt tops will be hand quilted like I always do. I will be very busy quilting this year as I have the large Mariner’s Compass on the big quilting frame and my smaller hoop will be kept occupied with these smaller twin size quilts. Dear Jane (Insanity) is coming along nicely and I have one triangle left to piece of the bottom border and then that border is ready to piece leaving — a drum roll please !!!!! one more border to go which has of course 13 more pieced triangles to do. I will finish that top this year — the end is finally in sight 
Here is a picture of Ciera’s quilt top (some of the light colors in the photo came across lighter than they actually are but you can get a good idea of what it looks like):
