The first week or so of April was taken up making my sushi quilt (pattern testing for the extremely talented Sonja of Artisania). Then I had a mojo failure for a while, and regained a bit of momentum - well, enough to get my rainbow trail mini finished (finally!!) and to quilt my Outfoxed on the High Seas quilt. Since then I've been madly cutting my fabrics for the Retro Flowers QAL and I've stitched up one flower (plus a few flowers worth of curves). My other to-do-firsts for April didn't even get a look in unfortunately, but they are still on the back burner somewhere...
So my to-do-first list for May:
1. Retro Flowers/My Precious QAL - combined into one quilt - such a cunning plan ;o)
2. Designer challenge for Fat Quarterly (by next week, eeek! Still no inspiration for this one!)
3. Design a block for the Desperate Housewives QAL - really need to do this soon (like by next week)
4. Zakka Style sew along projects - if my book ever arrives!
This is probably enough for May - I've decided to do my Retro Flowers 5x5 instead of 4x4, with a wider border (or possibly even a couple of borders), so we can use it on our bed. I don't think it'll be a full queen sized quilt, but I'm hoping it will finish at about 80" square. At the rate I'm going with getting it sewn, I'm thinking it will take all month.
I'm linking up to Fresh Sewing Day at Lily's Quilts.

Love you quilt top right! Absolutely stunning!
Gorgeous stuff though, it's qualioty not quantity!!
Jess - I did 5x5 for the retro flowers and without borders it measures 60x60 just so you have that knowledge and a heads up!
Funny how so often we don't think we've accomplished very much until we look back! Your projects are all amazing, Jess.
Well 2 quilts was hardly slacking ;o) I love the sushi one :o)
The Sushi quilt looks awesome. :) I also remember seeing your Outfoxed on the High Seas quilt during the Festival of HSTs and just loving the design and color movement in it. Lovely work this month!
Some great little finishes there! I'll be patiently waiting to see what you get up to this month =D
I'm behind in the Zakka (haven't gotten any done yet). I love your quilts!
I love that block on the top left. What's it called? I'm searching for ideas for my month in a bee.
Beautiful finishes Jess! Well done!
Lovely finishes!!!
I really like your rainbow snail trail. It is a cool way of putting it together.
Any idea when she's releasing the sushi pattern?! I want to make it for our new Japanese house!! ;)
