To Do List for the Week of 11/12/2024

It finally feels like autumn here.  It's been pretty chilly in the mornings, but warmer in the afternoons. We seem to be done with the highs in the 80s.  I'm hoping to get back to my photography walks this week, assuming it stays dry most of the week.  Before I get to far into on what else is on the list for this week, here's how I did with last week's to do list.  

To Do List for 11/5/2024

1.  Chocolate Marshmallows: Work on borders ✔
2.  Squared Away: Start sashing blocks 
3.  Guild BOM: Start pieced borders 
4.   Wild and Goosey: Make more red blocks 
5.   Sensational Summer Scrap quilt: Continue as leaders/enders 

It was a good week on the progress front.  It helps that I'm keeping my list simple and just expecting progress not finishes.  But that approach seems to be working for me as projects are moving along.  

Since simple is working for me, I'm going to stick with that approach for this week's list.  

To Do List for 11/12/2024

1.  Squared Away (So Scrappy): Continue sashing blocks





I've been taking this one slow. I have to label the blocks in each row so I get them in the right order.  But it's coming along.  Hopefully it will be ready for the borders by the end of the week. 

2.  Guild BOM: Continue working on pieced borders





The top and bottom borders consist of 14 flying geese for a total of 28.  I'm slowly getting those assembled.  

3.  Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Start November clue

This one is a pretty simple clue so I'm hoping to finish it up before next week. 

4.  Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making red blocks





It's been slow going on these blocks, but working in a couple of blocks as I'm sewing other things has really made a difference in moving this project along.   

5.  Simple Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt (Kevin the Quilter): Continue as leaders and enders. 





I finished one set of 10 yellow 4-patches. Now it's back to making a few blue ones.  It's time to cut some more 2.5" squares from my scraps, too many 2-patches with the same fabrics are showing up in the pile.   

That's my to do list for this week. Short and simple, which seems to be working for me lately.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

I'm waking up to cooler temps here in the morning but warms up into the 70's daytime. Nice outside for walks for sure.

That collection of blues for your 4-patches are awesome.

Your progress is really noticeable, so I'm glad you have found a pace and method that is working for you. Sounds like you have some really lovely projects to enjoy working on this week.

Oh, your squared away blocks are gorgeous. The black sashing with the coloured squares in each corner is inspired.
