Still progressing

I don't have a lot of photos to show my progress, but that doesn't mean I haven't been doing it.



Here are some of the grays that I used for my October blocks in the RSC 2019.  After finishing these, I made five more with browns and called them my November blocks.  I also thought that I needed just one more block - just not of brown because I didn't have a lot of brown scraps;  I made another pink one....


There's not going to be room on my 'design wall' for all the blocks... there are 56 total... I'm planning on seven across and eight rows down.  You can see in the photo that I've started adding sashing... which are also from scraps; I don't remember which quilt top I was working on, but apparently I got a little over exuberant and cut either too many or the wrong size.  I haven't counted to see how many sashing pieces I have... it's just important to me that I use them up, however many there are.  I have yardage that I can use for any sashing I'll be lacking and for the borders - I just want to use up as much as I can of these strips.  Now, don't quote me on it or believe that my figures are carved in stone, but it looks like the quilt should finish at about 75" x 82"... this is bigger than the pattern called for.... and I could just change my mind and make two smaller quilts... I think those are supposed to finished at 57" x 57" and have a couple of blocks left over that I can use for labels.   Hmmm, I might just have talked myself right into doing it.  We'll see what happens tomorrow.

take care....
