October 2024 monthly recap.......................


It was all new quilt tops in October, no finishes.  I still have one more finish than new tops though for the year.

Kaffe Blue Pinwheels is 60" x 72".  These were the leftover triangles from the pink/blue triangle quilt.  I guess I cut a few too many for one project.

The butterfly baby quilt top is 35 "x 45".  I think I made those blocks about 20 years ago, maybe a couple years before that.  They were probably started to promote the book that the patterns were in.  It's publication date is 1993 and that is over 30 years ago.....so maybe the blocks are closer to 30 years old.  I pulled the blocks out many times and just couldn't come up with an idea of how to use them unless I made more blocks...and I didn't want to do that.  I'm just happy it's a quilt top now.

Fall batik quilt top is 64" x 72".  It was just a quick project to use some strips in 2 project boxes and to give me some stress free night sewing.  I do most of my sewing at night while I watch TV.


Yesterday I was searching for a backing for the 72" x 96" neutral batik 16 patch quilt top.  This piece was hiding between 2 others and when I pulled it out and measured, it was a 9 yard piece.  I got it pieced and pressed and now it is ready to go to my longarm friend.


I'm glad I got another photo of my maple tree 2 days ago because we have had a couple really windy days and lots of leaves drifted down to the ground.  We only got a quarter inch of rain with the wind but we have 3 days of rain predicted early next week.  I'll probably have a bare tree later next week.
