Weekend Stitching - A Bit of This and That

This was a good weekend to stay in and just sew. It was cold and windy, so I avoided leaving the house unless absolutely necessary.  Unfortunately most of Sunday afternoon was spent on the work computer writing a report rather than stitching. So I had to settle for just a couple hours of stitching Sunday evening as a reward for finishing off the report. 

Even with the abbreviated sewing time this weekend, one of February's priorities was finished up on Saturday. 

All the magenta fans are done.  These are the last blocks needed for my 2017 Rainbow Scrap Project.  I had already pulled and paired the fabrics for this set back in November, so I didn't want to just put the fabrics up and forget what went with which.  This project is my October UFO, so these blocks will back on the design wall then.  

Progress was also made on the February One Monthly Goal.

What reads dark brown/black in the photo is actually a very dark magenta.  Three different fabrics were used for those squares. I picked well, because you certainly can't tell that from the photo. Not sure this is going to be a finished flimsy by the 15th, which is the deadline for the parade of quilts over at Meadow Mist Designs.  I've got one more weekend before the deadline, so it's still possible.  

Work will continue to be really busy this week.  So I expect homework just about every night.  Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in my 15 minutes each evening, but that may be about it for sewing during the week.
