Wow, busy month. And productive. But not much blogging so I don't have many photos to show for the month.
In addition to the Lozenges top, I had two big finishes, which will get their own separate posts soon. So my stash report is looking pretty good this month.
- Road Trip is now completely finished, and I'm in the process of sewing on the sleeve. It will hang in the foyer of my home.
- The Black and Tan quilt was just a collection of blocks a couple weeks ago. Lots of blocks, because I struggled to get the value placement right. A friend in Missouri needs a quilty hug, so finishing this quilt became a priority, and now it's completely finished and ready to mail out.
IN this month: 6 yards (from Mulqueen's, khaki Grunge plus text print for stash)
OUT this month: 25-3/8 yards (B-W-B Lozenges top, 7 yards (includes cut-offs and scraps). Black & Tan Quilt: top 10 yards per EQ; back 5 yards; binding 5/8 yard; rejected blocks and spare parts, 2 yards. Binding for Road Trip, 3/4 yard)
IN YTD: 71-1/2 yards
OUT YTD: 92-5/8 yards
YTD Net Change: 21-1/8 yards OUT
Goals Update:
October Recap:
1. Prep for and teach lessons 4, 5, and 6 of my color class. DONE.
2. Make a label for Road Trip. Shop for khaki Grunge for binding and bind the quilt. DONE.
3. If Linda gets it quilted, bind the Autumn Scrappy Celebration quilt. DONE
4. Continue assembling the rows for the black and white lozenges project. DONE, rows are assembled, borders added, and top is finished.
5. Piece a backing for the Storyboard Stacked Slabs quilt and quilt it on the club's long arm on Oct. 31. Not done; changed priorities and I quilted something else instead during that time slot.
6. Make the last four blocks for the Black and Tan quilt; start assembling border units. Priority finish; this quilt is now completely finished, bound and labeled and ready to be sent to its new home.
7. Piece the backing for the Kaffe Gradient top. DONE

Black and Tan really speaks to me -- I don't know why. I'm sure your friend will find it comforting.
ReplyDeleteBlack and Tan came together really well, you have to feel good about that considering how hard you worked on getting the balance right. You got a lot done in October. Good luck with your plans for November.
