It's a new month, fall's definitely in the air here - it gets downright chilly in the evenings, and Koko pokes his cute little nose into the air each time the outdoors wafts into the room through the window with a smell that says it almost really wants to snow tonight if it were just a wee bit colder. . . [Another over-loaded list - meant as a directional aid, not a "Do All This" directive]
UFOs -
- Quiet Rebellion on the Pond - Put in circle guidelines and pin baste.
- ✓ Kelly's 1930s -
Try to get half way across the straight-line hand quilting on the bottom border. - ✓ Tangram Quilt-
Put the border on. Not sure how huge that thing is when unfolded the rest of the way. . .

| Wow! I can't believe this phone camera captured all the blues/teals/purples perfectly |
WIPs/NewFOs -
- ✓ 25th, Baby! -
Keep making footballs and build the Double Wedding Ring assembly, hoping for 32 ring completions by month's end. Too ambitious? We'll see! I love the fun of this - you start with a melon,
add an arc for a flying saucer,
add another for a football,
and eventually get a full ring:

| These colors are remarkable accurate :) I'm trusting the instructions aren't just making more work by stressing to leave the extenders unseamed until after circles are joined. I'll let you know when I get that far. |
- Rainbow Jane - Figure out how I want to quilt the triangles and make a marking stencil. (It's in line for quilting after Quiet Rebellion.)
- ✓ Flight Commander -
pin baste this little baby and try out terrain fmq.All finished! - ✓ Whoooo's Your Mama? -
Attach one set of berries. - ✓ NewFO -
Pull out that Japanese fan tree thing and get it cut/kitted for later attention.[Got a good bit sewn up, too!]
BOMs -
- ✓ Stay on schedule with Hello Moon and
Kelly's. - ✓ Selvages -
Start the assembly process. - ✓ Ruffled Roses -
Try to get the third border stitched.
✓ Community Sewing - Pin-baste the gentleman's wheelchair quilt** carried forward from August, so get a move on it!

- Hand station - ✓ Kelly's 1930s and Ruffled Roses
Wow. I'm glad you warned that this wasn't a get-it-all-done list. I'd be seriously worried about your sanity! =) The quilts shown in photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost ready to snow? I need to head your way. We are just waiting for the day when our temps drop below triple digits here in Arizona :)
ReplyDeleteYour UFO list is impressive.
Holy to-do list, batman! I'm so glad that you don't have to get it all done... that is SO much work. I don't have a doubt in my mind that you can accomplish a good majority of this, though!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a lot of "directives"! Good luck with it!
ReplyDeleteWowza... I just love looking at your projects because they are all so ambitious. Just one of yours would be a "lifetime" project for me.
ReplyDeletei like your background fabric. making choices for those labor intensive projects are hard for me because I usually risk falling out of love with them before finishing them. Good luck
ReplyDeleteyour first block is just gorgeous. Love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals! I love the Double wedding ring - I want to make one some day :)
