To-Do Tuesday 3/8/2022

Good morning and welcome to another To-Do Tuesday! It's time to review how I did on my previous list, then come up with a new set of goals for the week ahead. The Tuesday To-Do List link-up is hosted by Linda at Texas Quilt Gal.

Last week was not a good one for getting through my list, with too many other things going on that kept me from quilting. 

To-Do List for 3/1/22 - 3/7/22

1. Fishies baby quilt--begin quilting   not done

Nothing has been done on this quilt since the layers were pin basted for quilting.

2. Hearts Applique--prep yellow/gold blocks   ✔done

I don't have any blocks finished, but I've prepped several and gotten one partially stitched.

3. Rail Fence--begin making yellow/gold blocks   not done

4. Feathered Star SAHRR--continue making Shoo Fly blocks  not done/change of plans

I've decided to leave the Shoo Fly blocks off my Feathered Star quilt, so in a way, this step has been done.

5. One Monthly Goal--choose a project for March   ✔done

My One Monthly Goal for March was decided, and I blogged about it HERE.

My last couple of to-do lists included mentions of a secret project, which I can finally share with you. This is Interwoven, which I made as a gift for my husband's birthday. The colors were chosen to work with a recently renovated black-and-white bathroom.

My quilting plans for the upcoming week are focused on my projects for the  Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

 

To-Do List for 3/8/22 - 3/14/22

1. Charm Baskets--begin making yellow/gold blocks

2. Hearts Applique--stitch at least two yellow/gold blocks 

3. Rail Fence--cut yellow/gold pieces

I'll report on my progress and post a new set of goals next Tuesday. I'm linking up with other To-Do Tuesday lists at Texas Quilt Gal.

Happy quilting!

Stash Report and Stitching Time 3/6/2022

This week's stash report shows movement both in and out of the stash. The addition to the stash came from a pack of fat quarters, all in different shades of purple, thanks to the new Solid Fat Quarter Club at the Fat Quarter Shop. I've been interested in working with solids more, and this seemed like a good way to get a wide variety of colors.

As for the stash usage, I can finally share a recent secret project. This is the wallhanging that I made for my guy Ed's birthday. It is a variation of a pattern called Interwoven, and it finished at 22" square. I used 1.625 yards of fabric for the top, backing and binding of this quilt.

Interwoven was made to hang in a bathroom that we renovated last summer. The bathroom is all done in black and white tile.

2022 STASH TOTALS

Used last week:          1.625 yards

Used year to date:      15.25 yards

Added last week:          3.00 yards

Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch Challenge at Life in Pieces has us tracking how many days each week we get in at least 15 minutes of stitching time. We had a busy week, and it was a challenge to get my 15 minutes every day, but I managed to squeeze it in, sometimes late in the day.

15 Minute Challenge for 2022: 

2/27 - 3/5           7 of 7 days

2022 Total       64 of 64 days
