To Do List for the Week of 01/23/2024

No power outages with the freezing rain we had from Sunday into Monday.  The roads were pretty much solid sheets of ice till sometime in the afternoon. Thankfully My Guy's company told everyone to work from home, so he didn't have to navigate that. It's supposed to reach low 40's here, I'm ready for a warm up, even just a small one.  

Cold, stay at home weather has been good for my sewing time.  I did pretty well checking off items on last week's list.  

To Do List for 1/16/2024

1.  2024 SAHRR: Finish center block ✔  

2.  Betty: Assemble 5 blocks - progress

3.  Indigo Way: Continue working on clues 4, 5, 7 and 8 ✔

4.  Malted Mystery: Continue working on January clue ✔

5.  Scrappy Butterflies: Prep quilt top for quilting ✔

6.  Wild & Goosey: Work on green blocks ✔

7.   Chilhowie: Continue as leaders and enders project ✔ 

Definitely good progress for the week.  The weather has made it pretty easy to spend time in the sewing room, you definitely don't want to go anywhere else! 

This week's list will look similar to last weeks. There are way too many to do's on it, but as long as I'm making progress on most of them, I'm going to keep going on all these projects.  

To Do List for 1/23/2024

1. 2024 SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Add coping strips and first pieced border. 

I have my plan for this border worked out, but will need to add coping strips to get the size needed to make the blocks fit around the center.  

2. Betty (Meadow Mist Designs): Assemble 9 blocks

I only completed one block this week, but there are 3 others in various stages of assembly.  Now that I've made one and worked through the assembly process I know when to start the next block to minimize mixing up the pieces. Sewing 21 individual pieces together takes time.  I'm still not sure that my scraps are going to work and play well together, we'll see how it looks once I've made a few more blocks. 

3. Indigo Way (Bonnie Hunter): Continue assembling blocks

There are 4 more A and B blocks in various states of assembly up on the design wall.  I'd like to finish all the blocks by the end of the month. It's doable if I have lots of sewing room time.  

4. Malted Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Continue working on the January clue. 

Just 2 stars left to make and then I can start assembling the center of the quilt.  That will have to go on the small design wall as Indigo Way is taking up the big one.  There is still time to get this clue done before the February one comes out.  

5. Scrappy Butterflies (self designed): Send out for quilting.

This one wasn't as bad to clean up as some others I've done recently.  I need to find a box and batting, then get it to the post office.  Finding the right sized box is usually the hardest part of that process.  

6. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter):  Work on green blocks

 I got a late start on the green blocks this month, I forgot this was my RSC project for the year.  I won't finish it this year, but any progress on getting the blocks made will move it along.  

7. Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter): Continue as Leaders and Enders project.

I had to make more 4-patches for the last block.  Those are almost finished.  I doubt the last block is assembled before the end of January, but it will definitely be done next month.  

Another long to do list.  My approach will be to concentrate on the active quilt alongs: SAHRR, Betty and Malted Mystery, then do what I can on what's left on the list.  Linking up with The Quilt Schmilt: For the Love of Fabric for To Do Tuesday.
