This is what came out of the UFO tub next. I still have a little bit to do on the last batch of doll clothes, but that won't be a mornings sewing, Then there is the hand sewing on them, don't know how long that will take. I am excited to be doing this quilt. The blue patches were from a dress I made for Ambrosina when she was about 3. It had a smocked pinafore over it. My goodness she was cute! Some of the other blocks have scraps from clothes I made when Timothy was a baby (nee 1984) and some of the scraps are from the bridesmaid's gowns from my wedding over 43 years ago. These blocks have a lot of memories tied up in them. There are only a few of them that reached this stage, just as well, because I see where some improvements need to be made. They are entirely scrappy, even the whites aren't all the same shade. With 6 small children at the time I started these, the budget was even tighter than it is now. Yet, somehow I managed, it seems amazing to me now.

And that's about it for today, I hear the boys are home, and after that I will do some of the hand sewing on the latest batch of doll clothes. I am still plugging away at the hexagons too. There is no shortage of things to be done, that is for sure!
