To Do List for the Week of 2/24/2026

February will end and March will start between now and the next week's to do list.  This month is such a short one, I always feel behind at the end. Looking back over February's to do lists, it was actually a really good month.   

 

To Do List for 2/17/2026

1.  Kate's Choice: Cut borders, layer and pin for quilting - progress

2.  SAHRR: Start 5th prompt ✔

3. Scenic Waypoint: Finish corner units ✔

4. Magnificent Mystery: Continue block assembly ✔

5. Wild and Goosey: Continue sashing green blocks ✔

All the progress is starting to show up on the design walls in the sewing room. This week's to do list will look pretty much like last week's.  

To Do List for 2/24/2026

1. Kate's Choice: Work on borders

I finally decided on the dark green as the border, it makes the best frame for the blocks. The left border is completely quilted and attached.  All the strips are cut for the remaining 3 borders, but batting is only cut for the right border.  It's not likely that the all the borders will get done this week and attached. Fingers crossed the next three borders go on as easily as the first. It would be nice to have a finish this month.  

2. SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Start 6th prompt

Just one block left in this year's quilt along.  I'll decide how to assemble the block rows once that's done.  I have a loose finishing plan, so I need to firm that up once the last block is decided.  

3. Scenic Waypoint (Meadow Mist Designs): Assemble blocks

Last night I started laying out the possible blocks on the design wall.  Once that was done, the panic hit, it looked like a hot mess. I've moved a center here and a set of hourglass blocks there.  But nothing seemed to help.  So I stopped and built the quilt in Electric Quilt using very similar colors.  Once you add the sashing, it doesn't look like such a hot mess.  I have some thoughts on how to set the blocks so there are patterns that draw the eye. The other option is to make each block a single color.  I'm going to play in EQ a bit more before I start sewing the blocks together.  

4. Magnificent Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Continue block assembly 

It's been slow going on block assembly as this project isn't my priority at the moment. There are enough blocks finished now to see how the pattern is going to work.  This is a mystery quilt, so I'm always happy when my color selections work out.  It's not as bright as most of my quilts are, but I've wanted to use these three teals together for a long time.  It's nice to see them out of the stash and into a quilt.  

5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue sashing green blocks

Sashing these blocks has been my leaders and enders project for February.  I'm around half way done with these. I'll keep these in the rotation until they are all sashed.  

It's been the same list for several weeks now.  Hopefully I'll get far enough along to be able to rotate some things off and others back on.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.
