Oops!

I guess I missed my mid-month update, but better late than never! 

Another grouping of Cheddarback has been completed. 

This block looks black, but is actually very dark blue.

I made two basket blocks--I wasn't happy with what I had "growing" out of the first one--lol!

I went ahead and made the second set of initials that will be used later in the quilt top. I wanted them all to match and was afraid I would forget and use up these fabrics. Some of the other quilters are using dates or words, but I decided since we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary last month, that I would use my initials and hubby's on this project to commemorate the event.

What a good feeling to quilt my way to the last row on my Stonefield's quilt. 

I decided to finish up the border first--easier since I had to do the sides as well.
 Stonefield's is now complete--I got a lot of the binding finished at a sewing group meeting on Tuesday and now just need to get a label sewn onto the back.

The final block of Hospital Sketches will be coming out on Wednesday, so I have been thinking about how I will finish this project. I've been playing around with a dark border--not sure where I will go with this yet. 

I've also been thinking about what I will work on at the two retreats I'm attending next month. I've had Panama Pyramids on the back burner for a while, so made a test block. My alternate fabric will be this blue, for sure.

But I'm leaning toward having only light backgrounds--at least for now.

That's about it--my biggest accomplishment this month was finally motivating myself to get the  windows washed inside and out--what a relief to have that chore done!
