Summer in the South

It is definitely summer time here. The heat index has been over 100 most days. Our garden is trying to play out but Daddy's still has a good bit coming in every day. It is mostly his little tomatoes and I am doing my best to give away what I can't use. Even with the garden chores I was able to get the items on last weeks list done, but only because I kept it simple. So this week I will stay with that game plan.

Weekly goals for 7-23-17

1. add borders to the Bama quilt.
2. finish piecing tumbler blocks -- more on this maybe tomorrow
3. quilt a project Linus top
4. bind the 100 patch quilt

Here is a picture of the 100 patch as I was taking it off the machine. I just stippled it in a royal blue thread.


Here is the Bama quilt. It is the Turning Twenty Again pattern. Not the best picture, didn't have access to the whole floor. I plan to put a solid black inner border then one of the Alabama prints for the outer border.

  3. You've got a couple of really nice projects going there. The school quilt is sure to make someone happy, but that 100 Patch is scrapalicious!!

    1. Thanks, I really liked how the 100 patch turned out and it really depleted my box of 2 inch squares.

  4. The royal blue surrounding the 100 patches just makes the patches pop. It's a gorgeous quilt. Your Alabama quilt is going to be really cute!

  5. Love that blue around the 100 patches. How big are those patches? What a lot of patience that must have taken!
