Overdue WIP

It's been several months since I've done an official Work In Progress post.  Life has not fallen into any set patterns of late, so I'm always quilting on random days for sporadic amounts of time.  This past week I found some time to get a few things done (mostly because when my husband's home he's studying for his upcoming Boards, so I now have most my evenings free when the baby cooperates).

It's been really long time, and I've made 2 baby boy quilts and a bunch of blocks since my last WIP, but for my sanity's sake, I'll only post stuff from the last week:

1- Syracuse Reminiscent Quilt Top is done:
2- September do. Good Stitches blocks are done and in the mail:
3- Outlining for Heidi's Baby quilt is done:
It looks pretty cool on the minky in the back.  It almost looks like fur, doesn't it?  However, the minky is making me super nervous when thinking about starting the FMQ tomorrow.  Anyone have any great tips for making sure your quilting turns out alright on minky?  It never hurts to ask.  Wish me luck!

Other projects
Skill Builder- I'm behind 2 blocks
Sisters BOM- need to do the September blocks
Christmas quilt - not even on the radar yet (Once it feels like Fall maybe I'll feel some need to get going on it again)
 
Upcoming projects
Baby Girl Quilt
Madrid Temple Wholecloth quilt (can't wait to start!)

Stats for the Week:
New projects - 2
Completed projects - 0
WIP- 5

Linking up to WIP Wednesday.

    I have quilted few Minky baby quilts with FMQ. The key is to keep it simple and large scale and go slow. Don't move your hands too quickly causing puckers at the back.
    But the outcome is always beautiful!

    Can't wait to hear how it went.
    Good luck!
