I guess numbers two and three are most appropriate, not number four, yet. I’m on day five of my at home retreat, and have about a week more. Things I have gotten done so far:
- Ahoy appliqué top
- Blooming Beauty BOM blocks
- Pumpkin Patch top
- Witching hour top
- Peter Rabbit top – waiting on outer border fabric
- Tilda Quilt finish
- Lotus leaves and Vase MiaB block
- Floral Frolic Quilting
I would like to start quilting the Pumpkin patch (older version) and the Witching hour, using one backing. That backing should be here, ordered on the 14th. I have another piece of the same, but it is only three yards wide. I need to piece the backing for the newer, bright colored Pumpkin Patch too. I could do that one first and then the other two, while still in Halloween mode.
The three kits for custom quilts arrived. One Pacific Rim appliqué wall hanging, a Christmas wall hanging and a cute bed size Halloween themed one called Candy Corn. The Candy Corn one has a million or so pinwheels. I think I have a Accuquilt die to cut those though.
Be Kind.
