Nearly Three More Rows on Everyday Patchwork

My One Monthly Goal for February was to hand quilt two rows of Baptist Fans on Everyday Patchwork.  I'm pleased to have finished nearly three rows.  I think I have three fans left to get to the end of the third row.  Maybe I can quilt them tonight and tomorrow before the end of the month.

In the photo above, you can see that I have a little more than two more rows of blocks plus the top border before the quilting will be done.  So I'm already setting my One Monthly Goal for March:  to hand quilt three rows of Baptist Fans.

I'm marking the fans with Prismacolor colored pencils, using a yellow/cream color on the darks,

and a dark green on the lights. (In the photo above you can see that my new phone's camera creates garish colors!)

I've used these colored pencils to mark quilts before and the colors have washed out. The green seems to be lightening as I quilt but I'm feeling a little concerned that it won't wash out completely.  I'll have to use cold water for the first wash.

I'm linking this post to February One Monthly Goal Finish Link Up at Stories from the Sewing Room. Thank you for hosting, Anne-Marie.
