| BP MS 150 Quilt Progress |
1) BP MS 150 Quilt - My husband rode the BP MS 150 this year. The BP MS 150 is a two-day fundraising cycling ride organized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The ride is a 180-mile journey for MS from Houston, TX to Austin, TX. He trained really hard this year and I am really proud of him! About a week before the ride, I started thinking it would be nice to make him a congratulations/memory quilt. Actually the original idea was a pillow, but once I started brainstorming the project spiraled completely out of control!The quilt will be Texas & cycling themed. I am using colors from both the BP MS 150 logo and the BP logo. I have no idea how this quilt is going to look in the end, but I am having a lot of fun figuring out what blocks I want to use for it! So far we have a cow, Trail of Geese, bluebonnets, Texas, a patchwork heart and letters. :)
(2) Mystery quilt - (from my FAL list) I am about 40% done with the top. I really want to keep working on it right now, but I have reached the point in the night where my mistakes outnumber my successes!
I hope you all are having a great week!

Very cool idea (and inspiration!) I love the cow (?) and winding rainbow ;) Good luck piecing it all together!
O my gosh, Taryn! That is the coolest looking quilt so far! I think he will love it! I actually have a huge quilt kit hubby bought that has intricate "Texas" appliques and I am avoiding it, but I know he wants it bad. So I am betting your man will love it!!!
I really like what you have going on here. Beautiful! Enjoy playing with your design
What a great idea. Wonderful that your husband is committed to this cause too. I'm loving all the graphic blocks, so many beautiful pieces.
Those are beautiful colours! Can't wait to see what's added next!
That quilt looks fabulous! Love the colours!
That is awesome Taryn, such a sweet idea. I really love your Texas!
What a great project! I look forward to seeing it done.
Brilliant idea Taryn, I love your flying geese blocks!
The quilt is a great idea! It looks like it's going to be beautiful!
The BP quilt sounds like fun! Look forward to seeing where you take it, Taryn!
Very fun quilt for your husband!
You got some awesome projects going on! I love the geese and the blue and yellow blocks.
I love the start to your quilt. Can't wait to see it finished.

So cool, Taryn. That's going to be a family heirloom for sure!
Love the quilt and congrats to your hubby!
What a great idea, looking forward to seeing the end result!
I love the curve of flying geese! So many cute things to do with them :)
I really like the curvy meandering circle of geese and it reminds me a lot of a cycling route. The lettering is great too, you'll have to include that, but that was a given I guess?
I just love the way the quilt for your husband is coming along -- so fabulous, Taryn!
Love this!
Love it! Being Austin-based, I've got several friends who have rocked the MS150 in past years. What an awesome quilt idea :-) It will be so special!
You want to make certain that your chosen mattress fits any bed frame you'll be using and existing box spring. Otherwise, you should buy a box spring with your new mattress. long haul
