Good morning, friends! It's To-Do Tuesday and time to share my progress on last week's list and then see what's next.
I was partially successful on the past weeks list! It looked like this:
- Work on RSC aqua blocks. ✅️
- Make some Happy Blocks for the Compassion Quilts block drive at Quilting is More Fun than Housework. ✅️
Just two - I will definitely make more.
- Make napkins to go with my niece's placemats. ❌️ Nope. Would you believe I never got to the quilt shop to look for the fabric I need for these? I'll keep this on the list.
I did work on something that wasn't even on last week's list, and I'm not even sure why I left it off! These are cradle quilts for Carole at From My Carolina Home. One is quilted and ready for binding, and the other is sandwiched for quilting.
These are fun little projects - just 18 inches square.
The one on the bottom is made from orphan blocks - even the
back is pieced from a couple!
I'm making a goal to have the happy blocks and the cradle quilts ready to send off by the end of September. That will be doable!
Have a great week, everyone! We are heading off on a little vacation, and I am sooo looking forward to it. It's nice to have our son at home to hold down the fort while we're gone.

I love seeing your blocks, all so colorful and interesting.
A trip away sounds wonderful - coastal? So having the son around has some advantages - lol! Maybe you can pick up a fat quarter on your trip for the napkins.
have a great time!! enjoy yourself and hope you find some quilt shops along the way
You made good progress on all your projects. I love your Compassion Quilt Blocks. Enjoy your vacation!
Hi Dian. I've been absent from blogland so I'm going to be doing a bit of catching up. I apologize in advance for the multitude of comments about to come your way!
The zipper blocks and happy blocks are looking great. And those cradle quilts are adorable. I especially love the colors in the bottom one.
Enjoy your time away from home! I hope you brought a scrape of placemat fabric! You might find the perfect napkin fabric in a quilt shop in Oregon! I need to put cradle quilts and happy blocks on my to-do list!
Love your orphan block cradle quilt! Wasn't it fun to create something from a few leftovers? I hope you have a fabulous vacation.
Oh , Diann your cradle quilts are adorable. What fun projects you have been working on. Have a fabulous week and hope you have a relaxing vacation. Hugs.
