Design Wall Monday and Weekly Goals

Last week I pulled out the "blue 25 in 25" blocks I had made.  Two more white sashings and a narrow blue border and it will  be ready to quilt. 

Blue 25 in 25
Henrietta and I picked a simple quilt pattern to play with.  Here are my blocks---

Urban Cabin
Its fairly subdued for me.  More sashings and borders yet, that will change how it looks.  

Weekly Goals--
  1. Load a quilt on the Princess
  2. Add last two sashes to Swoon
  3. Sew more countries on Plaid 4 Patch
  4. Add borders to Blue Jacob's Ladder
  5. Finish Urban Cabin to a top
 That will be enough for this week. 

The weather the last 7 days have been unusually warm.  Today it has cooled off a bit and is supposed to rain.  I will hope for two inches.

I also have the urban cabin pattern and have 2 different jelly rolls that I want to use with it. One jelly roll is all tropical blues, so I think it will be very tranquil looking. That might have to be a summer project.

All so nice and progressing well! I really like the blue and white 25 patch, I'm always partial to a checkerboard design.

I love the blue and white quilt. Was that all scraps? I just made a blue and white Bricks and Stepping Stones from Bonnie Hunter and all the 4-patches were from scraps.

Small correction "Henrietta and I picked" translates to Lori picked and even though I thought (and told her) it is a fnugly pattern I didn't have the heart to refuse.

For the record, this would be pretty much an ideal beginner pattern and I am so glad it is almost done and I will never have to make another one, ever.

Playing Catchup

Its been busy!  Thanksgiving has come and gone, soon it will be Christmas.  We got our vaccinations a couple weeks ago--Covid, RSV, Influena...
