To Do Tuesday #28
It’s time for my To Do Tuesday #28 post, and I’m joining up with Roseanne and Sue of Home Sewn By Us for this fun weekly linky party. Keeping a list of my projects for the week has really helped me stay on task and get things done. Let’s see how I did this past week:
- Finish and mail pincushion – Done!
- Mail Freedom quilt – Done!
- Prep backing and binding for batik quilt – Done!
- Prep backing for Jewel quilt – Done!
- Finish 100 Day Project quilt top – Done!
- Sew Granny blocks – Done!
While that list looks long, mailing the packages didn’t take long, nor did prepping the quilt backs. I was already working on the 100 Day Project quilt top, so finishing that went quickly too.
The photo above is evidence that I clipped right along on the Granny blocks too – in fact, I finished the quilt top! Those granny square blocks go together so quickly when you can chain sew them. Want to see the quilt top?
The quilt measures 50″ square. I used part of a jelly roll, Little Red fabric by Riley Blake. For the background, I used Kona Silver.
I also have two blog hops that I will be participating in later in September and October, so I thought I’d get going on my projects. The first blog hop is at the end of September:
Here is a peek at the fabrics I’m using for my project:
Pretty exciting, huh? Actually it is. I got so involved in this project, I finished the top! Now I’m pondering the finishing details. I can’t wait to show it to you!
After that blog hop, I’ll be participating in this one:
I’m still thinking on my project(s) for this hop, but I have plenty of time to come up with something.
So what’s up for this week? I’m going to keep it a bit lighter this week, since I have pattern testing to do as well as some planning.
- Quilt the 100 Day Project quilt
- Bind Magnolia Mystery Quilt
- August Churn Dash Blocks
- Deli Geese Blocks
Okay, that list is a bit longer than I planned; I added a few more, just in case!
There you have it, my To Do Tuesday #28 project list for the week. How about you – how are your projects coming along?

You had a successful week. Finishes are nice. Thank you for sharing.

Wow you really did just motor right along AND get an entire top done for the Fall (bad word for me right now) hop! How I love that Granny square quilt! Did you just do it out of your head or is it a pattern/tutorial? I have some Aneela Hooey fabric I can so see in that pattern. Oh how I want to chase squirrels.

You’re busy with your blog hops. The granny squares quilt is very cute. I love the colors. I can remember learning to crochet and making a granny square first thing. It’s been so long since I did any crochet, I’d have to learn again, I think.

Hi Wendy! Just like that – six dones in one week. Woot woot! Love the Granny blocks – and your quilt holder is doing a superb job. Love the fabric for Fall, and your list with four things on it isn’t all that short. Good luck! Thanks for linking up today. ~smile~ Roseanne
