I am joining the weekly To-Do Tuesday Weekly Progress Update Linky Party hosted by my friend, Roseanne, at Home Sewn By Us.

To-Do for the week of Aug 25th-August 31st:

1. Finish my Doxies baby quilt top. √ Done
2. Cut more 8.5” squares for quilts for Lutheran World Relief. √ Done
3. Make binding for my Aviary quilt and start binding it if it arrives back from Sew Shabby Quilting by Saturday. √ Done

To-Do #1

I did get the Doxies quilt top done, but at 57” X 56”, it is a VERY large baby quilt. I didn’t want the Dogs in Sweaters to crowd the baby doxie, so I ended up with a lot of negative space, which will probably fit in well with the minimalist decor of my friend’s daughter. If I were inclined to do my own quilting, I’m sure there’s some cool things that could be quilted in that space, but since I will have it long-arm quilted, I’m opting for a kid-friendly Scribble quilting motif featured on Sew Shabby Quilting’s website. I really love how the borders that encompass all the dogs give a much needed pop of color.

To-Do #2

I used more of my open Bali Crackers Batik 10” Squares package to cut five 8.5” more squares. I sent all ten squares yesterday to Jen@Healthyhappyhygge.

To-Do #3

Below is my Aviary quilt all finished! I wanted to include some late summer sunflowers, and the photo bomb by my cat, Rusty, is just a bonus! I hope you can enlarge the photo and see the cool Bubbles quilting pattern.

To-Do for the week of Sept 1st-Sept 7th:

1. Sew the quilt top for the Summer Sampler Alumni Black Lives Matter quilt. I received the last of the blocks for this quilt top this past week, and the sashing fabric arrived recently, so I’m ready to get ‘er done!
2. Write my September OMG post about another fun project!
