I've gotten myself a little in over my head on the QAL's and other projects this summer but hopefully I will be able to keep up. Most of them have started off slowly this month or are more of a "at your own speed" type of thing - aka the Farmer's Wife QAL - so I should be able to get them all completed on scheduled, where schedules exist.
Here is a quick run-down of my projects and at least my fabric choices since that is the stage I am at with most of these :)
1. Kaleidescope QAL:
Fabric Choice: Rainy Days and Mondays - with Moda Basics Gray as my solid
Progress: All fabric purchased, cutting instructions are released tomorrow
2. We Can Do It! - Skill Builder Sampler:
Fabric Choice: Ta Dot - Michael Miller - around 22 prints, plus white as needed
Progress:
Block 1 Completed:
3. Embroidery 101 - Stitch & QAL:
Fabric Choice: Deciding between Miss Modd and Just Wing It!
Progress: Embroidery for block 1 released - I still need to pick my fabric, make the block, and start stitching! :)
4. A Zig & A Zag QAL:
Fabric Choice: QAL Leader made bundle + Kona Coal/Charcoal/White as the background color - still deciding
Progress: Need to choose a solid, cutting requirements already released
5. Rainbow Charm Swap:
Finally got my charms cut last night - mailing off tonight - deadline is this Saturday the 25th so I should be fine
I will be receiving 56 5" charm squares back - 2 of my own and 27 others in 7 various colors - 2 of each print
6. Garden Fence Quilt:
Fabric Choice: Aviary 2 - Saffron + Kona Cotton & Linen Solids
Progress: Drooling over the pretty fabric - will start cutting after 4th of July weekend
7. Farmer's Wife QAL:
Fabric Choice: Maybe fat 1/8th bundle of Just Wing It? - Will decide for sure after the 4th of July weekend and get started then
Progress: Enjoying browsing the book and contemplating my fabric choices :) I will be making the 55 block smaller version of this sampler
8. Gift Exchange
I have until 1 week from today make and mail a lovely gift for my partner - not 100% sure yet what it will be but I have some cute ideas
Also working on my "ginormous secret project" which is soooooo close to being completed! I should be done by Friday night if all goes well and will be able to share pics over 4th of July weekend - stay tuned :)
Happy WIP Wednesday - Don't let your WIPs become UFOs! :)

My stars! You do have a lot of irons in the fire! I'm looking forward to the Kaleidoscope QAL start tomorrow and love the fabrics you've selected!
Ummm...holy cow, girl! I didn't realized you had so much going on, but when you list it all out together, it's huge! Where do you find the time?! ;) Can't wait to see progress on everything you're working on. I'd be worried in my current state of mind that I'd start mixing up the fabrics & end up with some umbrellas in my polka dots quilt. :)
I love that Miss Modd for Embroidery 101! I will say, once you get your blocks done for that it's fairly easy. You just pull one out to embroider when they post a new pattern. You are one busy chick! Good luck!
This may be the most beautiful collection of fabric I have ever seen! They're so lovely :)
Wow! You have so many projects! Your fabric choices for the QALs is amazing, good luck with all of them!
It's so hard to say no to the quilt alongs; I totally understand why you are doing those! I like your fabric choices for each one, but my favorites are the Rainy Days and Zig Zag bundles. I'm looking forward to seeing some blocks come together for you :)
Great post idea about an update on your QAL's. Great fabric choices for all. :)
Wow, you are a busy bee. I just found you over on The Intrepid Thread's site. Thanks so much for your tip about loading pictures, I am now following you! Good luck on all your QALs, I have limited myself to 2 and I am only keeping up with 1 so far - bad quilter :)
Oh my goodness - I love your taste in fabrics! I hadn't seen 'Rainy Days' - fun! And I adore the Ta Dots! The ziq & a zag is awesome! Alot of cool projects you are working on!
and i thought i had a lot on my mind/hands. i love your projects. can't wait to see how they all turn out. and, i might have to join one or two of these; much to the dismay of my hubby! haha.
Wow you have alot of WIPS going... I really like all the fabrics for them.
I am loving all your different fabric choices, yummy!
Oh my goodness! You are SO busy! I can't wait to see how all of your quilts/projects turn out!

Wow! Your fabric choices are awesome. Love the Rainy Days for the kaleidoscope QAL. And all of those ta-dots for the skill builder! That's going to be so fun.
Yum...all your fabric bundles look wonderful!

Thanks for all the inspiring fabric combinations! I have to pick some myself and those dots especially are giving me ideas.
