What I've Been Working On

I took a break from customer quilts this week so I could work on some of my own projects. I have several that I had planned to do, but I never really made any traction on getting them done or at least a little bit of progress made. 

I was able to get the two table runners pieced from the charm pack I blogged about earlier in the week.  I was able to add some random charm squares and get two runners from one charm pack like I hoped.

These will be cute for Christmas once they are quilted and bound.

I was hoping to find some time to work on the church raffle quilt. It's not needed until 2026, but I know myself, and if I get too busy on other stuff, some things will fall through the cracks. I got the windmill border done.

I took a little time, but I feel like it was worth it. It really improves the look of the quilt. 

Another thing I have been wanting to start is a block of the month. 

This one is from American Patchwork and Quilting, and it was a quilt along in 2021. I was still working full time and couldn’t do it, but hey, it is never too late. I have all the instructions printed out, and I got the first one done.

I am using scraps, but I’m limiting the colors to orange, yellow, turquoise, and pink with light gray background and medium gray accent. This one was basically a pain because the pieces are so small, but I am going to try to power through and finish it. I hope to get another block cut out this weekend.
