Saturday in Orange....

This week was about finishing up a few things. I have a few UFO's on my sidebar that I took out and examined. It seems I needed 6 more blocks for two of them before I could start putting them together.

First, I made a 16 patch block to go with the purple one from last month. I  also made a few nine patches that will end up in this UFO.

Then I checked my birds in the air blocks from last year's RSC and made 6 more blocks. Two orange, two blue and two green.
They will end up at some point as a top with these blocks.


I also got some time on Wednesday and was able to finish off my Halloween wall hanging into a top this week. Hopefully this will get quilted and bound sometime before October.



Today is my 'kid free' day so I'll drop them to Grandma for the day and then head to my aunt's house for a paternal family reunion of my Dad's siblings. Then it will be off to meet the hubby for a date night dinner after he is done working. I guess I'll have to pick up one kid after that and the other will be having a sleepover with Grandma. Just another busy day at my house.

Head on over to SoScrappy and see what other orange projects are being worked on this week.

Looks like you've got lots of projects nearing the end. Enjoy your date night. Sounds like a fun day planned, though not a lot of time for sewing. The colors on your birds in the air blocks are just so pretty.

You are just SO productive! I love the birds in the air quilt ... I think that will be my next quilt once I'm done with quilts for my granddaughters. Oh wait, I said that about the churn dash and pineapple blossom, didn't I? ha! So many quilts ... so little time. ha!

Deb, it looks like you have had a productive week. I have a list, perhaps I should put it in a more prominent place as well.

Your birds in the air blocks look especially cute with the little smiley model.

You have been busy! I particularly like what you have done with your nine block patches and four triangle blocks.
