To Do Tuesday 32

September 15, 2020

To Do Tuesday 32, my second post for today, is a review of my to do list for the past week and how well I did – or didn’t – do. Roseanne and Sue of Home Sewn by Us faithfully cheer me on while I work on my projects each week; I do my best to return the favor.

There have been squirrels in abundance this week at Pieceful Thoughts, but first  let’s take a look at my list of projects for the past week:

  • Decide on October blog hop project – Done
  • Design challenge quilt – Still Brewing
  • Continue batik projects – Another batik done!
  • Quilt Color Pop Quilt – more fabric needed, which arrived yesterday

The October blog hop and the challenge projects are not finished, but at least I’ve decided on what I’m doing for the blog hop. I think I’ve come up with an idea for the challenge quilt; I just need to give it a try and see if it works. The idea in my head is pretty cool; not sure I can translate that to needle and fabric! 

My batik scrap projects are coming along. I have a runner done, which I will post soon. 

Sew What Was I Doing All Week?

The Color Pop Quilt – I honestly had to think about which quilt that was when I saw my list. I named it as I was writing the post, and then forgot. Want a peek?

See that background color? I’m playing with Kona Pickle once again. This was a fun project. Now that the fabric is here, I can get it quilted.

Did you see Em’s Scrapbag Wonky Maverick Star Block tutorial?  I had to make some. I wasn’t sure about the background fabric, but it’s growing on me. It has a chalkboard look to it, and makes those stars pop. These are so easy to make, use up scraps, and are so versatile. I can see these as a pillow, a design on a tote, or a fun lap quilt, etc. 

So what’s up for next week? Well, I’m keeping it simple, so I can just play with the squirrels. That seems to keep me amused while I’m ignoring the other things I should be working on. Here goes: 

  • September Churn Dash blocks
  • Play with challenge quilt idea
  • October blog hop

I hope you stop in at Home Sewn by Us and check out the others linking up today. Maybe you’ll find some good inspiration for a new project! 

Thanks for reading my To Do Tuesday 32 post, friends!
