The plan for October was to finish piecing the last En Provence block and then get all those blocks and sashing strips into a finished flimsy. That was a lot more challenging than I anticipated. There are lots of seams that have to be matched up. It wasn't so bad sewing the blocks and sashing pieces together into rows. But pinning the rows together before stitching took forever it seemed. I can claim victory on getting all the blocks and sashing pieces sewn together into a top.

| En Provence, A Bonnie Hunter Mystery (2016) |
The side borders are ready to stitch on, the top and bottom borders have been started. So I didn't quite make the goal this month. But there was significant progress. En Provence probably won't be done before this year's mystery comes out, but I'm hoping to get it to the point that it's ready to go out for quilting by that time.
Now to decide what's the goal for November. Linking up with:
