A Little Progress

  1. My September Block for the Blogger's Block of the Month:  Since they're only 8" blocks I'm using all scraps from my stash.  I think I'm going to stick with bright colors for these blocks.
 
2.  SBS Block #12 - The Improv House and Tree:  Improvisation quilting really makes my mind spin, but it's kind of fun in a weird way.  I like to think of it as a house at night.

The first 12 blocks together
3.  I finished my quilt for the "100 quilts for kids" this week.... the full post is here.
 4. Diamond Chains Quilt Along: 
I'm not going to lie- I'm slightly cranky, because I can't match my dang fabric for the center of the quilt.  JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby both mysteriously don't have it anymore, and I thought I had found it online, but um, it came and it's not quite it.  Sigh.  I ordered the next shade darker and it should be here by the end of the week.  If it doesn't match I'm going to have to go to Plan B......I'll let you know what Plan B is when I come up with one.

Ok....moving on - Stats for the Week:
 
New projects - 1
Completed projects - 1
In Progress - 3

No progress this past week-
  1. Ladybug quilt - ready to be quilted
  2. Halloween Wall Hanging - I should probably get this one out and finish it
  3. Mom's Christmas Table Runner - need to get measurements of her new table
Check out the other WIP at Freshly Pieced!

  1. Okay, I played with my software and your take on the quilt. I just sent you an email with an idea for how to fill the open area. Don't know if you'll like it but even if you don't, maybe it will help spur another idea!

  5. You've been busy. I think getting one project done with two little ones is fantastic.
