As I have mentioned before when we were traveling I had intended to really work hard on my “Insanity Revisited” Dear 
Jane quilt. But that isn’t how it turned out. I had brought enough fabric and patterns along to do a whole row – 13 blocks. What I got done was 2 blocks!! Since we got home last week – a week from today I have managed to finish two more blocks and sew the 4 blocks together with the sashing. Finally I have accomplished a little bit. 
Also on our travels I had brought along one block that was completely prepared to work on from my Christmas Baltimore Album quilt. I have 3 finished blocks and this one called “A Berry Christmas”. It needs 56 tiny berries scattered thoughout the green wreath area. Well I make them and finish it like that? Doubtful. I just do not think I want to make 56 berries. They show two versions on the pattern, one with all the berries and one with clusters of 3 berries throughout the wreath. I think that would make 24 berries total instead and I think that is what I will do with it, unless after I get started I change my mind.
I do want to finish the Christmas top this year and I still have one more complete block to applique and 4 borders that have the same type of pattern to applique on it as well. Maybe it will be quilted for next year’s Christmas.
Since we got home in the evening I have been trying to spend about an 
hour almost every night quilting on my first Dear Jane quilt “Insanity”. It is coming along and I have made a little progress. These blocks and triangles are from the Row # F. The quilting in the block with the red fabric isn’t complete but I will finish that block tonight. Finally getting back into my routine – just took a couple days to get back into the swing of things.
