It's October! I'm really not ready for that reality. We've got a lot going on this month, so I'm sure it will go faster than September. Oh well, at least I got a lot done last week.
To Do list for 09/24/2024
1. Rhododendron: Finish binding ✔
2. Diatom: Make label, binding, trim, sew on binding ✔
3. Guild BOM: Make September block ✔
4. Chocolate Marshmallows: Decide on setting ✔
5. Wild and Goosey: Continue making orange blocks ✔
6. Sensational Scrap Quilt: Continue as leaders and enders ✔
Six for six last week. I took the finishing of Rhododendron down to the wire. But it's off the to do list for good now. The plan is to do as well with this week's to do list.
To Do List for 10/01/2024
1. Diatom (Quilting Jetgirl): Finish hand stitching binding
I've just started on the hand stitching. All four corners left to finish. But it should be doable to finish it this week.
2. Guild BOM: Cut and start stitching on October block
Those instructions should come out today. This is the last block for the sampler. November's clue will be all the flying geese used in setting it all together.
3. Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Start October clue.
The next clue doesn't come out till Thursday, so I won't finish it this week, but I should be able to make a start on it.
4. Chocolate Marshmallows (Seabreeze Quilts): Decide on block layout, start assembling sashing.
Before I get into cutting and assembling the sashing, I need to decide which one of these neutrals to use in the borders because that needs to be the third strip in the sashing pieces. The EQ design uses the first neutral, I like the texture of it best. But I'm not sure I have enough of it. I have lots of strips left over from making the blocks. Fingers crossed I can assemble enough of those strips to use the yardage for the borders.
5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Finish making orange blocks
Only 4 more orange blocks left to finish what's needed for the quilt layout. Once those are made, I'll get to pick another color to continue with, probably red or green. Both of those are close to being finished up as well.
6. Simply Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt (Kevin the Quilter): Continue as leaders and enders project
Still lots of 4 patches left to make. This was definitely the right UFO to tackle as a leaders and enders project.
That's my list for this week. Linking up with The Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.
Before I sign off, Grad Girl and I want to wish My Guy a very happy birthday!
He's off today and we have some adventures planned to celebrate.
