Making Progress

I spent most of the weekend working on the 2025 Guild BOM.  All the Inverted Star blocks are finished with just 2 sawtooth stars left to finish.  That's a wonderful feeling. No last minute dash to the finish line the afternoon before the meeting!  The guild meeting is this week, so the November block will be shown and then just one color left to share with the guild.  Since this quilt needs to be assembled for the December meeting, I started adding the sashing strips to the blocks that have already been revealed. 





I've left the blocks for November and December out of the photo. I'll be able to add November's block after the meeting on Tuesday.  I'll have to wait till after the November meeting to finish assembly of the center.  But I'll have 3 rows that I can full assemble, so I'll work on that.  Plus, the full version of this quilt includes a sawtooth star pieced border. 





Those borders have to be laid out and stitched together too. That will take a lot of  time. So I may start on those and then finish the center after the November meeting. I just need one sawtooth star to show at the meeting, so I can add in all the others. One of the December blocks will be a corner block, so I can just add that one at the end of a border row once that meeting is over and be ready to assemble the remaining row and add the borders. Definitely doable.
