It was a good week. I've gotten a handle on the leg issues, physical therapy and anti-inflammatories are keeping the pain at bay. I do have to be careful on the stairs, getting in and out of the car and changing direction when walking. But that's not been too hard to manage. So I was able to spend a lot of time in the sewing room, which means really good progress on last week's to do list.
To Do List for 3/19/2024
1. Stay at Home Round Robin: Finish border # 6 ✔
2. Guild BOM: Finish March block ✔
3. Malted Mystery: Finish Feb, start Mar clues ✔
4. Wild and Goosey: Make purple blocks ✔
5. Indigo Way: Continue making blocks as leaders and enders ✔
For the first time in several weeks, all the to do list is checked off. Definitely a good week.
The first quarter of 2024 has been dedicated to three quilt alongs with deadlines. Two of those are quilt tops now and the focus UFO is also finished. That creates a couple of slots on the in progress list. Rather than finish off the two new quilt tops, I'm going to pull out some older projects and work on moving those to finished first.
To Do List for 3/26/2024
1. Malted Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish quilt top
The February clue is finally finished and the March clue has been started. Just three more pieced border strips and a final border of the dark blue is all that is left to do. I should be able to get that finished this week.
2. 2023 SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Assemble quilt back
I considered finishing this year's SAHRR first, but last year's already has backing fabric selected. I need to think on options for this year's quilt top. I'd like to get this one finished before Father's Day as this quilt is intended for My Guy.
3. Rhododendron (Bonnie Hunter): Add next to last border
This quilt just needs two borders and it will be a finished quilt top. Once that's done it can go hang in the closet till I figure out a backing fabric.
4. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Make purple blocks
There's been good progress with the purple blocks this month. I'm hoping to finish a total of 8 before it's time to switch colors for April.
5. Indigo Way (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making blocks as leaders and enders
Almost finished with the last two A blocks. Just one full B block and four setting pieced B setting triangles left to make after that.
This is the last to do list for March, next week's list will be the first one for April. I'm hoping to focus on finishes for the next few weeks. We'll see how that goes. Linking up with The Quilt Schmilt: For the Love of Fabric for To Do Tuesday.
