The drive home from Texas was mostly uneventful. But it's a long time to be in the car, it's a 9 hour drive. The worst part was the heavy fog from College Station to Waco, thankfully there wasn't much traffic. But I was pretty tired when I pulled into the driveway. I ended up in bed a good hour before my normal bedtime last night, but feel much better this morning.
I got in several solid days of stitching time last week, but because I was so behind on my priority projects (projects with deadlines), I didn't do so well with my to do list last week.
To Do List for 2/18/2025
1. Guild BOM: Write instructions and finish March blocks ✔
2. 2025 SAHRR: Finish borders 3 and 4 - progress
3. Marble Mystery: Assemble quilt top - no progress
4. Old Town: Continue working on clues - no progress
5. Summer Scrap Quilt: continue as leaders and enders ✔
At least my highest priority project got finished. There was good progress on the SAHRR, but I didn't get caught up. At least there was progress. I'm hoping for better progress this week.
To Do List for 2/25/2025
1. 2025 SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Finish borders 4, 5 and 6
I changed my mind on border #4. My split blocks are just really long. The top and bottom borders are assembled, I just didn't get them attached to the quilt. I'm hoping to make quick work of borders 5 and 6, but I always seem to bite off more than I can do in one week.
2. 2025 Guild BOM: Start on April blocks
I was a little late finishing off the March blocks, so I'm just going to start on the April blocks now so I ensure they are done well in advance of the guild meeting.
3. Chocolate Marshmallow (Seabreeze Quilts): Assemble backing
If I want to get more finishes this year, I need to start working on getting those quilts out the door for quilting.
4. Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish assembling quilt
The parade of quilts is sometime next month and I'd like to have a finished quilt top to show.
5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Make blue blocks, start sashing the yellow blocks.
6. Simply Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt (Kevin the Quilter): Continue as leaders and enders.
I finished a few 4-patches while I was in Texas. Still lots of these needed for the final setting.
That's my list for this week. I'm hoping that more checkmarks appear in next week's post. Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

I like your split strips as borders! They're going to make a nice frame around the previous blocks. Glad you're home safe and sound - have a good week!
