Better late than never

"Better late than never" - that was my theory about setting goals for the last week of August and I did focus a lot more on finishes by having a list. I feel such satisfaction with checking things off that list to say they're DONE.  I feel just a little less focused! 

I even managed to finish the top of a UFO this weekend and that is exciting.

The center block is one that I won a few years ago in a Giveaway and I framed it with some stash fabric. The 12 blocks framing that are from a Halloween block swap I participated in last fall. 3 of those 12 were mine from the swap, and the other 9 were from the other swappers. I bought the stripe last spring to use for the sashing and binding, but the black outer border and the cornerstones are from my stash. Yay!!

1. sew buttons on all 6 of the 5 minute tablerunners - DONE
2. finish binding on Trip Around The World UFO - DONE
3. applique my signature block for guild President's quilt - DONE
4. 2 mini blocks for this month's Saturday Sampler
5. finish hand blanket stitching on 1 Saturday Sampler applique block
6. sandwich Minnesota wall hanging and plan quilting - DONE
7. plan layout for Halloween UFO (block swap from last year) - Flimsy is DONE

And . . . YES . . . I did finish a few things in August other than this little list.

• Dinosaur print kid quilt entirely from stash (DONE & ready to gift)
• 5 minutes table runners (6 of them!)
• caught up my RSC15 blocks and have 2 rows pieced
• some random blocks (Saturday Sampler & Traveling Stars)
• 2 rows made for Row By Row Experience
