It all started with a long list....
First off was to put the final border on my Granny Square quilt....
not much to that - the strips were cut so it was just measuring and stitching
I have some plain red I will use for binding ….. (one day)
Need to look out for backing then this one can join the quilting queue....
Next I chain stitched a bunch of tiny Dresden blades
.. and made a pretty plate of them… ready for hand-sewing down in the evening....
Garden Sunshine by Quilt Doodle Designs is a sweet mystery quilt I am doing.... this is February's block.... a Facebook group is keeping me motivated to keep up....
Susan and Elyte are my motivation for this next one... I wasn't planning on doing it but I loved their blocks... and I did have a bundle of shirtings that have been lounging in my drawer for years....
One block Wednesday is hosted by Temulca Quilt Company....
I was a week behind so I did two sets today.... they don't take too long and I had the pieces all cut and ready....
I placed the finished blocks in a tin..... (the blocks are 4" square)
I hope I don't forget where I put them! The plan is to do 12 blocks per week for 30 weeks for the quilt. I think I will be able to keep up with that.
so I definitely ticked some things off the list... there is still lots more to be done though.
I do enjoy the ChooseDays… its lots of sewing time

Righto, Gotto Go.... I smell coffee!
Your Granny squares look great. Those Dresden blades are skinny! You have been sewing up a storm x
ReplyDeleteThe granny squares really look beautiful all together. You have quite a few wonderful projects going, I like to get plastic boxes to fit my projects, nice way to keep the blocks and fabrics in one place. Now I need to open some and finish them;)

ReplyDeleteAlways good to have a list...that dresden is very pretty. Well done on the catch up with the One Block Wednesday, and now another 12 are due to be done, the week zips around quickly doesn't it!! I need to do some cutting today. Great to see your Granny done, hope you find the right backing for it.

I'm tired just reading of everything you achieved. Mind you, I see there are a few items on your list that aren't crossed off as yet, so you won't be bored for a while yet.
