Design Wall Monday

I'm linking to Small Quilts Doll Quilt's Design Wall Monday and Monday Makings.
The baby clothing quilt is coming along.
I have 88 of the 106 blocks made.
I need a few that are not with the larger pieces made in order to start putting it all together.

My Texas My Texas UFO is almost together.
I have one more column to sew on and then I can work to get the rows together.
This has been a fun UFO to put together.
