To-Do for the week of Jan 17th-23rd:

2. Start binding my temperature quilts. √Done
3. Cut a few center on-point squares for my Mosaic camping quilt. √Done

To-Do #1

I got six more Ripples blocks done for Kim’s camping quilt. I’m enjoying how this project is starting to take form.

To-Do #2

I got the temperature quilts back from Rebecca on Friday and had them all trimmed by early Saturday morning. I find quilts with Minky backing a little more challenging to trim but thankfully I had borders sewn on the front, so I wasn’t worried about trying to protect the points of any of the flying geese while painstakingly trimming. I’m not going to share any pics of the quilted temp quilts this week–SORRY–but I have decided that when I finish these quilts (and it should be this week), I will write a detailed post about the process involved in making three temperature quilts at the same time. And I also promise to share plenty of photos and links to previous posts about these temp quilts. Over the weekend I machine sewed the binding on all three quilts. I also machine stitched the Kona Charcoal binding on the front of my New Mexico quilt but decided that the less-than-perfect stitching shows up too well on this fabric, so I pivoted for California and Washington, and I’m hand-stitching the binding down on these two quilts which definitely is a more time-consuming task. But one that will be worth it as the end result will more nicely frame Rebecca’s exceptional quilting. Get ready to be WOWED!

To-Do #3

I have started to fussy cut some 3″ on-point center squares for my camping quilt. I am using Amy Friend’s Mosaic Story block pattern.

To-Do for the week of Jan 24th-30th:

1. Make the first border for SAHRR2023.
2. Finish binding my temperature quilts and write a post about them.
3. Finish my Sashiko Daisy Pouch and write my Jan 2023 OMG Finish post.
4. Continue working on Ripples camping quilt for my niece, Kim.
