Over the long (grey, damp) Labor Day weekend I managed to finish several things. One complete finish was small and the other was big. I made my purple blocks for the RSC19, and I worked on a frustrating UFO. Lots of sewing time because once I hobbled down the steps in my boot I just stayed put for a few hours at a time.
Hen House Stars is quilted and bound. Those missing star points still bother me and my need for symmetry. But I quilted it with simple one-way diagonal lines and it may be growing on me. This is a Kim Diehl Simple Whatnots (session 8) project and is about 16" x 24".
The binding is finally done on the Halloween version of Saturday Sampler. I am kind of slow at binding, but it does give me some satisfaction.
A Halloween One Block Wonder using a panel was the next thing I worked on over the weekend. I'm not sure why I made 2 Halloween quilts in the last year, but they are very different from each other. The OBW quilt required some seam ripping before I made some progress. More on that project later this week.
I got a call yesterday from a long arm quilter who was quilting one of my other UFOs - a Christmas quilt. It's ready to pick up so I will have another big quilt to bind and to check off my list.

The Hen House Stars topper looks great. The missing star points are barely noticeable.
