Last Aqua Saturday

I was able to do another pinwheel this week so have two done for this month. I didn't have enough of this type of scrap to make the birds in the air this month. Hopefully we have a color next month that I have more of in the scrap bin. I'm a little worried orange might come up... which I don't have a lot of.


At the beginning of this month I had posted some goals..... I think I did pretty good. The quilting is holding me up. I had a perfect window to work on it yesterday while both were napping (first time that happened all week!) and just did not feel like it. So.... I worked on some applique while watching a couple of episodes of The Mentalist. I tend to tape shows and then watch them later.....I still have 3 of them to get through before the next season starts next month.

My goals for this month (so I can check in and see how I do!). * priority
1. Finish Aidan's quilt top * DONE!
2. Prep and quilt the log cabin and send to Colorado. ** pinned and binding made.
3. Make aqua pinwheel blocks * 2 Done
4. Make aqua birds in the air blocks * Not enough scraps to do this one.
5. Make 4 or 5 midget blocks *

6. Make 1-3 Quilt Square Along Blocks (Applique from 1st batch, star, triangle) * 2 done. 1 in process.
7. Make some Sow along blocks... I am way behind!
8. Piece the pineapple blossom into a top.
9. Prep and quilt some of the tops - pineapple blossom, Aidan's, Pink X
10. Hand quilt the QSAB blocks - a little progress made here.
11. Start hand quilting the fireworks quilt from last Julys RSC.

Nice pinwheels! Its funny Im quite hoping orange does come up as for some unknown reason I do have some. Actually Im struggling to think of what outstanding colours we might get - so looking forward to September to find out!

Great blocks. Such a pretty color.
OMGosh, I am out of breath just thinking about your long ToDo list! Good luck with that.

Great pin-wheels. To bad not enough left to do you birds. I love your bird blocks too. Good to have goals, I need to think about how much I should get done for Sept now that the holidays are over.

Love your pin-wheels. Turquoise is such a pretty color. Calming.

Great blocks. Too bad to hear you are low on orange. I am too, but it is sure to come up eventually:) Good luck with your "to do" list. I'm sure you will get most of it crossed off in no time.

Lovely teal blocks.

I have almost no orange at all but could make blue blocks for the rest of the year, I think!

Angie said...

Whee - pinwheels! I was trying to puzzle out the block construction on those - it looks like there are two different pieced strips, plus the plain white. Is that correct? Ditto on the offer of orange fabric, I have LOTS!

Very pretty blocks. Teal is such a rich color to work with. Looks like you've done pretty well on your goals for the month. Congrats on making some headway.
