Friday Finished (or not)

Here it is Friday again already!!  Do I have any finishes to report? Yes I do. 

Because I'm one of those people who always has multiple projects in the works, my list making comes in very handy to keep them all straight.  On Monday this week I listed 6 things I wanted to accomplish this week, and I've managed to cross all but one of those off the To Do list.  Yay!!

1. bind at least 1 quilt - YES - pink Snail Trail baby quilt
2. finish the summer banner - YES
3. finish 2 blocks for pizza box challenge - YES - actually made 5 blocks
4.  make some RSC blocks - YES - several blocks
5. cut out this month's Saturday Sampler pieces - Not yet
6. choose next UFO to tackle - YES - 2 UFOs are next up

Two items (1 and 4) on this list will be shared tomorrow on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge post because they are PINK.  Blocks and binding - checked off.  The binding is finished on the pink Snail Trail quilt.  And I've begun hand stitching the binding on another baby quilt.

Here is the little summer banner, all done and ready to hang in my office. I'm so glad I made copies of the pages with the foundation sections for this because I really want to make more of those cute butterfly blocks.  These banners are only 10 x 26 but fit perfectly in that spot in my home office between the closet door and the doorway to the hall.

As for the #5 on the list - I have pulled out the colors I plan to use for those Saturday Sampler blocks for this month, but that won't be needed until early next week.  We have a busy weekend, with the family getting together to celebrate 5 spring birthdays.  No sewing will happen over the weekend, unless it's just a block or 2 for RSC or QOV.  However I'm all ready to go on Monday morning - probably with a new list of things I want to work on.  LOL 


The binding for Circle of Friends has been cut and sewn.  This bright yellow is the same shade as the narrow inner border on this quilt.  Plus there are pops of yellow in some of the blocks.


More yellow binding was made for one of the doll quilts in the To Do pile.  All of this binding will not happen right away, but it's nice to have some things ready to grab as needed.
