Have a wonderful long weekend, everyone!
Wow! That's some good progress, girl! BTW ... I am crazy in love with the final addition to your Coast to Coast Bee quilt. Those partial stars are gorgeous and frame the quilt perfectly. You're one lucky bee mate!
ReplyDeleteYou are making awesome progress and sticking to your deadlines! I hope you have a great and productive September.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of projects to be keeping track of! You're making great progress though. The Coast to Coast quilt is gorgeous! It looks so intricate.
ReplyDeleteLove all the projects... Having a few in progress is cool because we can jump from one to another if we get bored. I am afraid I could not post a list such as yours - mine would be embarrassingly long!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the progress in August! You've got an ambitious list. Good luck with your September goals.
ReplyDeleteYou are super organized! And, really productive. Love those blue in bloom quilts. Thanks for sharing the size info. I was wondering if it could be a queen size quilt. My guess is no due to the interlocking blocks/borders. But it is really cool.
ReplyDeleteYou had a wonderfully productive month, congrats!
