WiP Wednesday 7.15.15

I'm getting my sewing mojo back as much as I can for summer.  Here's what happened this week:

I whipped together this Pat Sloan table runner challenge quilt.  This is one of the Vacation Time blocks.  It's called "Down by the Boardwalk".  It was the January block in the 2015 Pat Sloan Vacation Time Mystery BOM.  Hopefully the next time you see it, it will be quilted and bound and ready for Christmas gifting-- Goal is next week!
 
 

I made a red sawtooth star block for the RSC15 challenge.



I finished my Americana Row Along Stars and Hearts row.  Of course, it's all scraps!



I set my Q3 FAL Goals with Adrianna at On the Windy Side hosts the 2015 Finish Along.  It's nothing new (just a few things on this WIP list.)

I'm still sorting and sorting and sorting.  Hopefully I'll have a picture of our colors all together soon!



After some of the sorting I have cut my WIP list down by nine projects!

1.  QM Bitty Blocks QA
2.  Starry Night customer BOM project (this is just going into the fabric stash pile)
3.  OSU flannel customer quilt (this is just going into the fabric stash pile)

9. Color coordinated hexagon quilt -- sent to the scraps bin
10.  Gypsy Wife QA moved this idea to my bucket list and put blocks in the orphan box

Well done on cutting down your WIP/UFO list. Sometimes I think we need to realise that some quilts started are never going to get done

I love the red sawtooth!

Lynn said...

Your table runner looks great, look forward to seeing it quilted. You also made me feel wonderful about my WIPs because I thought you had cut your list TO 10 projects (I have 8 now) but you actually cut it BY 10 - wow, you are productive!!

The table runner looks great, as does your sawtooth star block. Looks like you did really well this week.
