A Productive Weekend
Man, did I get a lot done this past weekend. I made a serious dent in my Midnight Mystery Quilt and have 80% of my square in a square blocks done. Since I'm make a queen size quilt, I need 48 of these. These were supposed to be done in September so I'm a bit behind but I know I'll be able to catch up.
I've also made some progress on this month's Stash Bee block. This block is a great leaders and ender project so I've been piecing it between my other blocks. I've got a few more 9 patches to go and then I can put the entire block together.
Lastly I've gathered some fabrics for my classroom quilt project. Thank you so much to Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl who sent me some! Now I need to start pressing them and cutting out some squares. Lots and lots of squares!
Unfortunately, my little one is home sick with strep throat so I'm not sure how much sewing I'll get done this week. Maybe that's why I pushed myself to get so much done over the weekend.

I can't wait to see a Queen sized version of the mystery quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a great weekend; I am loving seeing your Midnight Mystery quilt come together. I hope your son has a fast recovery; strep is no fun for anyone! :( And man, am I so happy to see the value and colors of the scraps I sent blend right in. It is going to be so great to watch that project evolve!
ReplyDeletegood to see your mystery quilt is coming along, not thought about starting mine yet! Speedy recovery to your little one, no fun having a bad throat. Can see the school project is off to a good start and the nine patch blocks are looking good
ReplyDeleteMy scraps will be on the way tomorrow, Dianna. I'm also interested to see your queen size Midnight Myster.
