I have never tried to grow one but saw some huge ones while we were in MD.

I'll have lots of beautiful quilts, totes, jackets, vests, wallhangings and tableruners by the end of the year if I just focus.

Flowers in winter is such great therapy. <br /><br />It has been especially gloomy with the fog here for so long.

I think you have very high standards..and you probably did way more than many quilters.<br />My Christmas cactus (more of a fuchsia color) has been blooming for the last 3 weeks. Very fun when it blooms "on time".<br />Take care.<br />Vicky FVicky Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580450164312941983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-88906258232058942782010-12-31T11:25:20.034-06:002010-12-31T11:25:20.034-06:00I am so glad I am not the only one who pieces batt...I am so glad I am not the only one who pieces batting for wall hangings. I just use the scraps of batting up for those.. for some reason, it works. Battin is hard to come by around here.. so expensive, but so worth it. It took me a long time to find the battin that works the best. When I first started I used some high loft, not sure of the brand, but let's just say it didn't make it through the wash.. What is your favorite type of batting.. I love your projects, and your quilt tops!<br /><br />Thank You for sharing, sorry for babbling!<br />ReneeRenée's Country Crafts LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04814347512321918389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-5640444921972425672010-12-31T10:16:43.541-06:002010-12-31T10:16:43.541-06:00I personally think 14 quilts is a good amount to h...I personally think 14 quilts is a good amount to have finished - that is more than one a month!

I am pleased with the results for the first half of 2010 but 'kinda' slacked off during the second half.

I haven't done the final tally, but I think I only finished two. So on my to do list for this weekend is to do the same as you did, prep batting for the remaining quilts to be quilted. They already have backings, so once I get the batting pulled, hopefully I can make short work of them and knock them off the list in 2011.<br /><br />Love your Christmas cacti! I agree...cheap therapy for sure.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264008817537561201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-87308084668300926762010-12-31T07:59:13.620-06:002010-12-31T07:59:13.620-06:00I have a Cactus in that color.
