To Do Tuesday #78

Hi Everyone! I am pleased to share with you everything that got done this week. I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt this week for To Do Tuesday. Please make sure you stop by and see all the cool projects that everyone is working on.

What Got Done This Week

It has been an amazingly productive week. I am very excited to share how my first week of the new year has gone.

• Worked some more on Queen of Diamonds block 2-1. Just one more unit to add.
• Finished Welcome Friends! (A Backyard Banner by Shabby Fabrics)
• Worked on my leaders and enders project. I finished the current four blocks and started the next four.
• I worked on cutting the cottage pieces for the 2024 Temperature Cottage quilt. This is a free pattern on Fat Quarter Shop’s website. I got enough cut out to finish the roofs of four cottages. I decided to use only one white backgrounds so I stopped by and picked up another 3 yards for the rest of the quilt so I can finish cutting out the rest of the roofs and trees. I love how the roofs turned out. I am loving the brown from Alison’s newest collection Chrysanthemum.
• Finished assembling the center of the 2019 100 blocks 100 days (Gnome Angel) during Monday’s Zoom Quilt Day. It felt good.
• Also finished assembling the center of Pat Sloan’s Childhood Memories quilt that I started in 2023. I even had time to cut the squares I will need to make the half square triangle border using the magic 8 method. I am excited about it.

Afterthoughts

I’m feeling pretty good about my productivity this week. I do need to sort through all my quilt tops – Ready to quilt vs Need borders. I currently have on quilt rack. I am feeling like I need a quilt ladder maybe for one of these categories. I will keep an eye out for something cute.

I also received my felt tiles I want to test out for a design wall. While I bought enough tiles for the whole wall, I figure I should just do a small section to start.

I am on a roll so I am trying to take advantage of the flow….. Happy Tuesday everyone!
