Weekly Progress Update #194

To-Do for the week of July 17th 2023:

  1. Finish my camping quilt top.
  2. Piece the back of my camping quilt.
  3. Enjoy being retired!

To-Do #1

I did get my camping quilt top finished this past week, and I’m very pleased with how it looks. It just makes happy looking at it!

The fabric I used for the corner squares and the outer borders is called Smoke Rust Stone in Grey. I purchased it from the Etsy shop Pink Chihuahua Fabric. The Etsy shop HunnieQuilt had a half yard in Soot earlier today but I snatched it up. I did take a screen shot of the fabric image, so some of the words that relate to the outdoors can be more easily read.

To-Do #2

I also got the back of my camping quilt pieced this past week. The outer border of parks is from a panel I purchased from Quilting Mayhem on my trip in June. I purchased the poster panel from the Etsy shop Cute Little Fabric Shop.

I am continuing to enjoy my retirement. Below is a pic of a baseball game on my iPad that I was enjoying while binding my Mid Century Modern quilt.

  1. It makes ME happy looking at your camping quilt too! It’s glorious, I love that back almost as much as the front. Great job! Will you do the quilting?

  2. Retirement becomes you! Honestly, it is the best phase of life. Having a plan for the day helps you to not waste the day away in front of the computer. I absolutely love your camping quilt, front and back. The fabric with the words is fantastic. I have a “collection” of fabrics that are travel related, because it is my 1st love!

  4. Love that you are enjoying retirement, stitching on binding while enjoying a game – so fun! Nice choices on fabric, too! You best snatch up those fabrics you like, I suspect you’re going to fly through fabrics now!

    Your camping quilt turned out beautifully! That border fabric is perfect and so is the back. Good luck with this week’s list.
