Since I was traveling last week, it was hard to put together a to do list, so I didn't make one. The one from two weeks ago was pretty simple.
To Do List for 5/16/2023
1. Prep projects for Texas Trip ✔
2. Enjoy hanging out with Grad Girl ✔
I made really good progress on the pinwheel blocks while I was in Texas and a little progress on Diatom. But I definitely prepped more than I was able to work on. But I'd rather be over prepared than to run out of stitching stuff to do. Hanging out with Grad Girl was a lot of fun. It was just nice to spend the evening together laughing and talking.
Now that I've had a few days back in my sewing room, making a to do list was easier.
To Do List for 5/30/2023
1. SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Assemble last pieced border
I finished the last pinwheel yesterday. Then had a go at balancing the light and dark blocks across the borders. I'm pretty happy with this layout. Since this picture was taken, I've cut the background strips and pinned the first border strip. It's waiting at the sewing machine to be stitched.
2. Just Two Charm Pack Blog Hop (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish pressing and cutting fabrics
I'm almost finished with the pressing and cutting of my blocks. I don't have a lot of charm packs, I never know what to do with them, so I don't buy them often. That being the case I've gone the route of making my own charm pack from stash, something Cheryl does cover in the book.
3. Diatom (Quilting Jetgirl): Assemble block 6, cut block 7
I finished block 5 yesterday. Block 6 was already cut as part of the trip prep activities. Block 12 comes out next week, so I'm still way behind. Now that the windmill blocks are done, hopefully I can dedicate more time to catching up on this project.
4. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): 1 orange block
A new color will come out later this week, but I'll finish one more orange to tie up May.
5. Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter): Leaders and enders project.
So that's my list for this week. Linking up with The Quilt Schmilt: For the Love of Fabric for this week's To Do Tuesday.

I adore your robin! Those large borders that require math are really hard for me - good luck!
The Diatom block is stunning! Wow! SAHRR will be beautiful, and you'll be pleased with the results.
that is a good block - it is always hard to make progress when traveling or out of your routine for one reason or another
Congratulations on getting the last pinwheel block sewn together! I look forward to seeing how the SAHRR finishes up for you this week.
I think you had the perfect to-do list for your week with Grad Girl! Any sewing you accomplished was just a bonus. That Diatom block is beautiful!
Yea for making progress last week. I hope you get your SAHRR done soon. It is really looking good now. And your Diatom block is gorgeous. Good luck with this week's goals.
I love all your blues. Very pretty.
You are working on some beautiful quilts!!!
Congratulations Kate on completing your last list so successfully. Visiting Grad Girl and having prepped projects was perfect! I think your SAHRR is my favourite of them all. I just love the blues! Your Diatom is going to be stunning. Good luck with this week's list. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday.
Your SAHRR is lovely!!! I have almost joined a few times but held myself back...self control is needed when it comes to starting newbies.
So, you are headed to Texas? How exciting!!
