To-Do Tuesday #57

Good morning!   I'm checking in today with my weekly to-do list and linking up with Roseanne and friends for the To-Do Tuesday linky party at Home Sewn By Us

First things first, I did finish my September Color Challenge block from Patterns by Jen.  (As always just in the nick of time!)

This one is inspired by the Cinnamon Teal, and I think
it has a cinnamon vibe!

Here are all 9 blocks I've made for this challenge this year.  You might notice I completely remade the red block, and it's no longer the same block as the original.  But I like it and think it will work just fine with the group of blocks.

Also sharing this at the September link-up at Patterns by Jen.

Other items on last week's list included:
  • Finish up the red zigzag row.  ✔

  • Work on the mini magic star blocks that I plan to make into a tote bag.  ✔  All 24 blocks are made, and I'm sewing them into panels of 12 to make the two sides of the bag.  The panels measure 11 x 14.

  • Continue quilting the rainbow color gradient quilt.  ✔  Quilting is 50% completed.  

So, on this week's list:

1.  Keep quilting!
2.  Continue working on the tote bag sections.
3.  Get going on October blocks for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks.  I think this will involve yellow scraps! 

Thanks for visiting!  Have a great week!

Good for you! Great progress on your list! I think October will be yellow also! Then its on to the finish for those projects. I put my sprouts from 2019 on the design wall....a decision needs to be made.

Wow you are going full guns! Love your aqua rainbow block quilt! Looks great! Your cinnamon block does remind me of cinnamon--or even a cinnamon stick in a nice warm cup of cider!! The blocks look great together! Have a great day!

Hi Diann! I think yellow will be the perfect addition to the zig zag rows! I didn't notice before that you are making the color challenge blocks in two shades of the feature color. I would say that your September block definitely has a cinnamon flare to it. Did you play along last year? I don't recall seeing a finished quilt, if you did. I love your quilting gloves - I have a birthday coming up and Sue got me a new pair. They'll have nice clean fingertips! Thanks for linking up today. ~smile~ Roseanne

Progress on everything--nice! I like the cinnamon one, too!

I am in love with your zig zags, so fun seeing them all together. It just might be my favorite quilt you have ever done and you have done lots and lots of very pretty ones.

Mary said...

Your Cinnamon block looks great with all your other blocks. I also am loving your colorful zig zag quilt. Take care, Mary.

Kate said...

Love your Cinanamon block! Very subtle color shift, but it works. The Zig Zag quilt is such fun! Hope you've made really good progress on this week's to do list.

Well, by this time I'm guessing you have everything done. I like your monthly color challenge block, and those mini magic star blocks are fun too! You have some fun projects in the works!
