The end of April, beginning of May were pretty productive as my to do list shows for last week shows.
To Do List for 4/28/2026
1. Guild BOM: Finish July block ✔
2. Magnificent Mystery: Finish borders ✔
3. Chilhowie: Prep top and back for quilting ✔
4. Lupine and Laughter: Work on A blocks
5. Wild and Goosey: Continue making blue blocks ✔
Definitely a lot of progress on the to do list last week. Now that Magnificent Mystery is a finished top and the Guild BOM is caught up for a few months, I can add something back to the list and it will still be shorter then last week's list.
To Do List for 5/5/2026
1. Old Town (Bonnie Hunter): Work on borders
I finished assembling the quilt top back in December of last year. It got put away to concentrate on all the new projects that started in December and January. All it needs is the borders. I spent some time in Electric Quilt yesterday and finally decided on fabrics and layout. I'm excited to get this one to finished quilt top.
2. Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter): Sandwich quilt and start marking
The top, batting and backing are all prepped. With my back, I can't crawl around on the ground, so I'm going to have to take the sandwich to the quilt shop and assemble it there. There is a big table in the back that should make that a lot easier. If all I do is get the sandwich made this week, I'm good with that.
3. Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter): Work on A blocks
In the project bag were 5 finished block A's and this partially assembled one. My plan was to make 3/4 of the blocks, I think. I need to pull out my notes and confirm that. The plan is to work on this one till it's finished quilt top.
4. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Finish blue blocks, start sashing
Just one blue block left to finish. Then I'll need to lay out all the blocks in groups of four and decide which block goes where. Sashing goes fast so I'm hoping to have these all made into 7.5" blocks by the end of the month.
This week, my to do list is all Bonnie Hunter quilts, three mysteries (2024, 2022, and 2025) plus one Rainbow Scrap Challenge project (2019). I've started 14 mysteries, finished 7 of those, and 3 are quilt tops. So 4 are still in the block making stage (well 3, Old Town just needs borders).
That's my to do list for this week. Linking up with The Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

Good afternoon, dear Kate. You have a wonderful selection of projects to work on for the week. I look forward to seeing the borders to Old Town. And how exciting that you are nearing a finish on the Wild and Goosey blocks. Have a blessed day. Hugs. PS. I am having a blogging glitch and for some reason your blog and some of my other blogging friends are not keeping up in my " Reading List" . I hope blogger straightens out soon. LOL Hugs
Old Town is beautiful
Wow. Old Town looks fantastic. Those blocks look complicated. All of your quilts are looking beautiful. I don’t think I’ve seen Lupine and Laughter before.
Yes yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, and I missed out on my favorite Patron margarita for $7 (instead of $10) at Chili's - lol! I'd rather just get chips and salsa and a margarita than a meal.
I had forgotten about Old Town. I remember being quite fascinated with the blue print, it is so pretty.
Hope your back is feeling better.
Great progress all around! I hope your back is continuing to feel a bit better every day and I'm glad you have a location you can work on quilt basting without needing to be on the floor. Good luck and have fun with your to do list this week!
Good for you for diligently working on your UFOs. Those quilts are all gorgeous. Not sure which one I like best. All the blues speak to me.
