To Do List for the Week of 11/5/2024

It's been nice to be home for a stretch.  I was able to get some chores done last week that really needed to get done.  It's easier to wander off to the sewing room if the house is at least reasonably in order.  The sewing room time has been paying off, there was good progress on last week's to do list. 

To Do List for 10/29/2024

1. String Lights: Package and mail out for quilting ✔

2. Chocolate Marshmallows: Continue assembly ✔

3. Wild and Goosey: Continue making blocks ✔

4. Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt: Continue as leaders/enders ✔

Last week's list was pretty simple. Simple seems to be working for me, so this week's list will be just about the same.   

To Do List for 11/05/2024

1.  Chocolate Marshmallows (Seabreeze Quilts): Work on borders

I like nested borders and this quilt will have 4 total.  The first one is done and the second is started.  Hopefully I can finish all of them this week or at least get close.  

2. Squared Away (So Scrappy): Start sashing blocks

It was hard to come up with a layout for all the blocks.  I played with the blocks over the weekend and finally ended up on the phone with Grad Girl for some brainstorming.  I think this is pretty close to a final setting. I might move a block or too before I get serious about adding the sashing.  This is another quilt where I didn't really give any thought about how all the blocks would go together.  It's scrappy, anything works. Right? 

3. Guild BOM: Start pieced borders

The quilt has a flying geese borders on the top and bottom.  That means something like 28 flying geese.  That may take a couple of weeks.  

4.  Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue to work on red blocks

More triangles were cut from the scrap bins.  I don't have a very large variety of reds, hopefully there is enough so not all the blocks look the same.  

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

I need 200 plus blue 4-patches and more than 100 yellow 4-patches for my version of this quilt.  Lots more to make. It's slow going, but slow is still progress.

That's my list for the week. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.
