I've been on a roll lately with sewing nearly every day for at least an hour or 2, some days a lot more. It really adds up. But today will hopefully be spent on a golf course and not in the sewing room.
It will be a semi busy week, so I'm being more reasonable with my plans for the week. I picked up the Scrappy Pyramids quilt from the quilter last week, so I'm hoping to get that one bound. The binding is scrappy too, and all from the leftover binding chunks in a drawer. I got a start yesterday hand stitching that binding down, so hopefully it will easily be finished by the end of this week.
The other 2 projects I plan to work on this week are also UFOs that need attention. One is another doll quilt, and the other is a Quilt of Valor. The doll quilt just needs binding too, so that should be a quick finish as it's only about 20" square.
The other UFO that needs attention . . . Indigo Way. This was a Bonnie Hunter mystery a couple of years ago. I made some blocks at the time, but never actually put them together. The blocks and lots of parts of blocks have been languishing in the project box. This is my plan for using the blocks so far. The corner triangles still need to be cut. In order to make it large enough for a Quilt of Valor I'll have to add a couple of wide outer borders.
The Buckeye Beauty blocks all need to be sewn into sets of 4 before laying them out for final assembly. There is a small stack yet that need to become a 4-sie. That would bring this project one step closer to being finished.
And of course there will be various block sewing - like always - RSC blocks, Leaders/Enders, Blockheads, more QOV blocks. Maybe some other small things like mug rugs or placemats. Whatever strikes my fancy, right? There are parts already cut for more QOV blocks, and for more RSC (purple) blocks. Kitting up block pieces makes it really quick to sew a bunch of new blocks.

I hope you make it out golfing and then you will want to come home to air conditioning and sew time:)
You have a full plate this week. Golfing will be a nice chance to get out of the house and get a little exercise. I have one of Bonnie's mysteries on for July. It is from years ago also. I am planning on making it smaller but I have zero interest in figuring it out. Maybe one of these days I'll actually look at it...but probably not this week. Good luck with all your plans.
I love that peek at your Scrappy Pyramids quilt! Won't it be great to have a finish soon?! Your On Ringo Lake blocks look great set that way. Have a fun golf game! I'm looking forward to going tomorrow.
love that backing you show on the first quilt
Thanks for the photo of the Indigo Way layout. I've got the blocks in a box and you're encouraging me to do something with them.
Such pretty projects!
that is a great way to beat the heat - and what a fun variety of projects. I really like how you have already added the leader/ender challenge in patriotics!!!
You've made a bit of progress here and there the last few weeks. Good luck on getting a few more things to finished. Looks like you are close.
