To Do List for the Week of 8/13/2024

We'll pass mid-August this week.  It really does feel like time speeds up as we get closer to the end of the year. Didn't we just pass mid year? How can it already be almost two thirds overs?  I should calm down, there is still half of August left, so still time to make lots of progress on my quilting plan. 

My weekend sinus troubles put a hitch in my progress on last week's to do list.  

To Do List for 08/06/2024

1. Rhododendron: Finish packing and send out for quilting ✔

2. 2024 SAHRR: Finish the binding - progress

3. Indigo Way: Continue to work on borders ✔

4. Wild and Goosey: Continue making orange blocks ✔

5. Diatom: Finish sashing, start borders - progress

6. Simply Sensational Summer quilt: Continue as leaders and enders ✔

It wasn't a bad week, four check marks with progress on the remaining two items is a pretty good week.  I can still hope that progress on this week's to do list is better.  

To Do List for 08/13/2024

1. 2024 SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Finish binding

Just half of one side left to hand stitch and it will be a finished quilt. I should make quick work of that this week.  

2. Indigo Way (Bonnie Hunter): Add last border

I had more of the dark blue fabric left then I thought.  The strips are cut and are pinned to be stitched together.  Borders always take longer than I think they will, so fingers crossed that Indigo Way is a finished quilt top by next week.  

3. Diatom (Quilting Jetgirl): Finish sashing, start borders

There's not been much change since yesterday's post, so no photo.  I did get one horizontal sashing strip attached, so just two more to go. The strips for the narrow light blue border are cut, so getting those stitched and cut to size is the next step.  

4. Guild BOM: Make August block

I haven't even printed off this month's instructions.  This month is another 12" block. If I remember correctly there aren't a lot of pieces so it should go together pretty quickly. (Famous last words!)

5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making orange blocks

I still haven't counted how many are made. I should do that before I make many more.  

6. Simply Sensational Summer Scrap quilt (Kevin the Quilter): Continue as leaders and enders 

I've almost finished a set of 10 yellow 4-patches.  My plan is to alternate, make a set of 10 yellow and then a set of 10 blue.  Should keep it interesting.  I've bunches more of each color to make.  

That's my list for this week. I'm adding borders to two quilts this week. Lots of long seams, I probably need to wind a bunch of bobbins before I get too far on that process.
