To-Do Tuesday #83: SAHRR and Harmony Hand-Pieced

 Both of the QALs I've been participating in are having link-ups this week, so I decided I'd better focus on those two projects for my to-do list!

Over at Quilting Gail, Stay at Home Round Robin participants are linking up their finished quilts (or their works in progress!) and you can see lots of quilty eye candy at the link.  My round robin is still a work in progress, but it won't be too long until I have a finish!  Over the last week, I finished up the quilt top, pieced a backing, and got everything layered and spray basted.  I've quilted a small amount through the center to get started.

Here's a peek at the back and you can see my quilting design better.  Jacquie Gering calls this an Angled Crosshatch in her first book on walking foot quilting, Walk.

Straight vertical lines (mine are 2 inches apart) 

with diagonal lines intersecting them.

So my Number One To-Do for this week is to get this quilt finished!

Second on the list, which doesn't really compete with quilting the SAHRR because it's all hand-pieced, is the Harmony Hand-pieced QAL.  I've made a lot of smaller pieces and parts, and this week's job is to stitch them into the larger corner blocks.  Two are completed, two more to go!  This QAL is sponsored and designed by Patty at Elm Street Quilts and Kristin at Simple.Handmade.Everyday.  This is the first link-up to show our progress.

Everything's ready to stitch for the next big block.

To-Do #2 is to stitch the rest of those bigger blocks, so I'm ready to move on next week.

I'm also linking up with Chris and friends at Chrisknits to share my to-do list for the week.
