Weekend Progress

It was a quiet weekend, though not all of it was spent in the sewing room. The Scientist in Training didn't plan on being home for more than a week and didn't bring home all her books or clothes for the warmer weather we are starting to have. So I rode along as she drove the two hours back to her apartment to get the things she needed to ride out however long campus is closed.  

After we got home, I headed to the sewing room and finally made some good progress on last week's To Do list and March's One Monthly Goal.  I've got the binding sewn to the front of Twinkle Stars and have stitched around three corners.  



I've got two days to finish the hand stitching.  That should be doable, but I'll probably take it down to the wire with the last stitches happening on Tuesday.   

I've started stitching the Frolic blocks and sashing together.  


2019 Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt:  Frolic


I'm happy with how it's coming together.  I still need to finish piecing 5 of the light blue blocks, but there's enough done to start getting the completed bits and pieces sewn into rows.  The blocks were starting to fall off the design wall, so I just took most of them down but for the ones being sewn together.  

The second border has been added to the Mosaic Mystery.

I just need to add a final dark purple border to have a finished flimsy.  Hopefully I'll be able to finish that next weekend.  

It was a good weekend with a lot of progress.  Hopefully this week will be as good.  Linking up with the normal Monday linky parties of Monday Making and Design Wall Monday

Wow, you had a very productive weekend! Your Mosaic Mystery and Frolic both look great, and I can't wait to see the Twinkle Stars quilt all finished. I need to start sewing my Frolic blocks together too.

Love the sunshine in your binding!!! I know that feeling when the work stretches to fill all the available time. The Frolic is looking yummy and I am sure you will be able to finish Mosaic Flimsy. Stay safe.

You’ve got a lot of near-finishes. That must feel good. I’m excited to see Twinkle Stars.

Everything looks great! We still have to go and completely move out BioGirl's apartment. We are hoping to do that in the coming weeks, but who knows. If these states keep tightening the movements of the citizens we may not be able to get her stuff before June!
