To Do List for the Week of 11/11/2025

What I suspect has been a cold hasn't quite cleared up yet.  Thankfully the sinus pressure and headache have backed off.  I'm still a bit sniffly, but at least I can mostly breathe.  I didn't much done on Saturday since I felt so crappy, but I didn't do too badly with last week's list. 

To Do List for 11/04/2025

1.  2025 Guild BOM: Continue quilt top assembly ✔
2.  2026 Guild BOM: Start first block - no progress
3.  Old Town: Finish sashing pieces, start assembly ✔
4.  Magnificent Mystery: Start Sept/Oct clues - progress 
5.  Wild and Goosey: Continue making green blocks ✔
6.  Lupin and Laughter: Pick fabrics ✔

Not a bad week, just one item with no progress. I did lock down the final layout options for the 2026 guild BOM.  I'm going to take a break from the 2026 BOM project and focus on the 2025 version This week's list is a bit shorter. 

To Do List for 11/11/2025

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Complete quilt top assembly



The next borders were assembled and are pinned ready to be stitched down.  There are 4 more borders, one of which is pieced from all those sawtooth star blocks.  This will be my priority this week. If all that gets done is this, then I'll be happy. I have to have it ready for next Tuesday's guild meeting. 

2.  Old Town (Bonnie Hunter): Continue assembly




All the sashing strips are assembled and I've started sewing rows together.  I haven't quite finished assembling the first row of blocks and the first row of sashing.  With all the seam matching, it does take fair amount of pinning, which slows down the process. But so far so good.

3. Magnificent Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish Sept, Start Oct/Nov clues



   
All the HSTs are sewn, now those are being combined into the large hour glass blocks.  I'm really happy with my color choices so far.  We'll see if I feel that way once I finish the October clue.  

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

I'm still working on the dark green blocks needed for the corners. There's been more progress on moving those blocks a long this week.  

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

Hope you're feeling a little bit better each day, Kate! Glad you had some time to work on the projects on your list. I really like that background fabric for the guild BOM - it's perfect for a rainbow quilt. Sounds like you're on your way to being ready for the quilt reveal at the guild meeting coming up!

hope you get to feeling better I've heard of a lot of people getting sinus infections lately

Ooh, stuffy head days can really put a damper on the desire to stitch! With it getting colder it's harder to shake things like that. You did get a lot done despite that and hopefully that will also help your healing too!

Good afternoon, Kate. It is so nice to hear that you have been able to spend a some time in the quilt room and make progress on your lovely projects. I really like the fabrics you are using in the Magnificent Mystery. I am looking forward to following your progress on it. I hope that you feel better very soon. Warm hugs.

We rarely realize what a blessing it is to be able to breathe through our nose, right? I really like the colors in that Guild BOM block. Hope you keep getting better!

I'm glad you are feeling better and hope the trend continues. You are at the fun and magical stage of seeing your hard work come together for both the 2025 Guild BOM and Old Town; I hope it's satisfying!
