To-do Tuesday #193

 After not being very busy all summer, we have had two busy weekends in a row, so not much time for sewing again.  But seeing family and friends is important, too.  Good thing I kept my to-do list simple last week!

I did get a chance to work on more yellow blocks and made some bowties and zipper blocks.  They're pretty in yellow!

I did also get a start on piecing the backing for Scrap Dance Quadrille.   I have one fat quarter left from my Cape Cod bundle that I've never cut into - it's beach huts and lighthouses!  Of course, it's not big enough for the whole backing so I squared it up and am adding some scraps of Sprinkles to bring it up to size.

This week I'll be continuing with the same things - yellow for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and getting Quadrille ready to quilt.  

Plus, I've had a request from one of my nieces for a couple of placemats.  She would like red, blue, and yellow in them.  Last night she was telling me that the rabbits she and her sister raised when they were kids loved strawberries and that made me think of this fabric that I've used in several projects this year.  There's just enough of it left now to use as an inspiration for placemats for my niece.

It will be fun coming up with some coordinating 

fat quarters and a design for two placemats!
