I'm in mid pack, which means that there are piles of things everywere. I brought some "kits" south in the fall with plans to complete them, but totally forgot that I had left several the year before! I decided to sort through everything, and decide which ones were remaining again this time.I thought that pictures might help me to remember next fall, when I begin packing once more. These are all baby quilts, mostly using panels I have collected over the years.
Kit 1 is a narrow panel, and I've left an assortment of green fabric, along with a gold with colourful stars. The fabric on the right will be binding, and the flannel is white with tiny green dots.
Kit 2 is a baby panel based on Twinkle Little Star. It is very pastel, and the stripe on the left will be binding, with the baby print flannel will be the backing.
Kit 3 is a panel of calico animal toys, and shares the same binding and backing fabric.
Kit 4 is a panel with toys riding on a train, and the backing is a train print flannel that I've had for some time. The binding will be made from the primary coloured stripe.
Kit 5 is a cute panel with pink gingham backing flannel. I'll have to hunt for an appropriate binding fabric - I'll check my stash when I return north.
Hopefully I'll remember that they are here waiting to be made when we are ready to return next fall.

I managed to get the quilt top finished, and the backing was bought and laundered. Flannel always shrinks, so I always wash it first!
Now I have to get the back pieced, and clear my table for some pin basting. Hopefully I can get the scrappy split 9-patch basted at the same time!
The kit was great, and the instructions were fairly clear. I did substitute a piece of my own green fabric for the one included, as it was a better colour match. Binding is made and pinned to the design wall, in plain sight so I don't forget where it is......
