Today I have my Lone Rose Star quilt top completed, ironed and taken to a long-arm quilter for basting the quilt sandwich. I plan to hand quilt this one, but when its a queen size its always nice to have it basted by someone with a long arm machine. Looking at the picture I can see where I should have interchanged a pink and a yellow Rose Star - but too late now. Funny how these things always show up in a picture.
I also got a little work done on my Brimfield blocks - Completing Block 11 and 12 - that leaves 8 to go.
One more progress step in the right direction - my Wish You Well block number 5 for May. I am having so much fun working on these blocks. I do love this block, I think the embroidery in the bottom left corner is my favorite so far.

Good for you to be making progress on several projects! I agree that having a longarmer baste your quilt for hand-quilting is a good idea. I also agree about seeing mistakes in a photo! I recently posted a picture on my blog and Instagram of a finished quilt top... with one whole section turned the wrong way! Dozens of people paid the nicest compliments, and a day later, when I saw my error (I've since taken apart the quilt top and turned that section 180-degrees), I couldn't believe I missed it, and that others didn't see it too! I now see the great need to take pictures of a quilt top BEFORE quilting it!
