Usually my allergies give me fits early in October. But since it hasn't really cooled down till this week, whatever hits the breeze when that happens is playing havoc with my sinuses. So I've been early to bed and slow to get moving in the morning. So I just didn't get my To Do Tuesday post written yesterday. In spite of the crappy feeling allergies give me, I did pretty well on working through last week's list even with the early bedtimes and slow mornings.
To Do List for 10/14/2025
1. 2025 Guild BOM: Finish December, press sashing fabric ✔
2. 2026 Guild BOM: Start First block - progress
3. Old Town: Continue making blocks ✔
4. Wild and Goosey: Continue making green blocks ✔
Definitely not a bad week, three check marks with progress on the last to do item. I'm hoping to have a really good week next week as the plan is pretty much nothing but stitching during the day. My version of a solo retreat.
To Do List for 10/21/2025
1. 2025 Guild BOM: Continue quilt top assembly
The color for November is orange. I finished all of this month's blocks a week and a half ago. December's blocks are all done. I pressed the sashing/border fabric and started assembly of the rows. The quilt top has to be ready to show in December, so I'll do what I can to move this project ahead without the December blocks that will get shown at the November meeting. Every little bit of progress helps.
2. 2025 Guild BOM: Start first block
I washed all the fabrics a couple of weeks ago. But didn't get them pressed until earlier this week. So the fabrics are ready to go. I just have to cut the pieces for the first block. That should happen this week.
3. Old Town (Bonnie Hunter) Finish block assembly
The project bin is starting to empty of block pieces and fill up with sashing pieces. Just 2 more blocks need assembly. About 2/3 of the sashing pieces are assembled. I may just get the top assembled before the first clue for the 2025 mystery comes out.
4. Magnificent Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Cut fabrics and start Sept/Oct clues
I had to purchase the tone on tone off white because I just didn't have quite enough of my first stash choice. If I made any mistakes, I'd be hurting. So I bought a new background. After it was washed, I discovered that I was short a full yard. Not sure what happened there, so I had to go back to the shop and buy a bit more to ensure I had enough for the quilt. I'm hoping to get the pieces for the September and October clues cut this week.
5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue assembling green blocks
The pile of green blocks continues to grow. I keep two moving while I'm doing my other piecing. It's slow going, but it's meant that I've made consistent progress all year. Still a long way to go, but I'm happy with the progress to date.
That's my list for this next week. You can check out all the other to do lists over at the Quilt Schmilt.
