End of August First of September


Catching up with myself today ~ 

Goal No. 1 accomplished - use as many scraps and otherwise unwanted fabrics of any size as possible before making any more fabric purchases.  Let's face it.....that's easier said than done!   But by the end of August two quilt-as-you-go quilts for the children in the CASA program were completed.  Washed, dried, stacked and ready to deliver.   Made very simple by sewing 5" x 10" rectangles together and adding each row to the quilt batting and backing in the sew and flip and press and sew and flip and press method to the last row.

And started another scrap/string quilt project.  Five foundation paper pieced blocks are done for this project.....only 10 more to make.

And excitement is in the air....here it is only September 7 and Down The Rabbit Hole Month 8 addition is complete.  While this last border caused me some initial angst , this irregular hexagon border was a breeze to stitch up.   Now it's sit and anxiously wait until the end of September and beyond to get this year-long project finished.

So, it's TTFN.   Trust me, this shadow was edited to take off a little bit of weight!
