Brutal Honesty {November 2017}

Yep, it's that time again already! October wasn't extremely productive but I did finish two quilts!

These were my goals for October:

1. Finish Stash Bee Star Quilt - done!
2. Finish October IBA project - done!
3. Start quilting Meadow Mystery Quilt - didn't even touch this project!
4. Put together Top Spin top - done!

1. Farmer's Wife Quilt (RSC 2016 project) -- Hoping to pick up this quilt from Michigan soon.

2. Traveling Quilt Bee (2016) -- My sister has this quilt to add on a section of her choosing.

3. Coast to Coast Bee -- My "quilty wish" was April Showers fabric for my border. I am waiting on a few more packages to arrive before I start!

4. Top Spin leaders and enders -- The top is done! Now to figure out how it will be quilted.


5. Meadow Mystery QAL -- While I wanted to get this done in October, I have things with deadlines to try to get done first so this will have to be pushed back for the time being.

8. Monthly Wall Hangings -- No progress

9. Sew Kitschy Blocks -- No progress

  1. On your Top Spin Leaders and Enders, love the color choices. How to FMQ is usually a problem for me. Perhaps you could check out Angela Walters Shape by Shape book. She gives great ideas for squares, triangle etc. You could try a smattering of them on this top.
