Progress, Progress, Progress

I feel like I'm at a standstill for my progress in getting projects done. I just seem to be unable to focus on one project. Normally I do focus on one project and when that one is complete, I'll move to the next one. Right now, I have a few WIPs that I am going between. The tweet quilt is progressing where I have laid out the rows with fussy cut bird prints.

I have sewed some of these rows together now....slow progress...but it's getting there. I will be cutting out sashing strips to go between the rows of fussy cut bird prints.

Next on the list has been working on the Maple Leaf blocks. Here's my second block.

These blocks come together quickly since I have a lot of the squares cut for the background. I cut the Fat Quarters as I go which ironically leaves me with a Fat Eight. So I've started a bin for Fat Eights and pieces less than a Fat Quarter to further my organization of my stash.

I ordered up a cute bundle from Westwood Acres Fabric at the beginning of the month. It took a little while for it to get here but I absolutely love it. I will be using this gorgeous bundle for one of my projects :)

I just love this fabric together. It is just so sweet! So for now, it will sit on my shelf to be admired until I figure out what to do with it :)

I also received my block Five from Fat Quarter Shop so I should be tackling that block next week or weekend. I'm heading down to Maine this weekend and I've already located some fabric shops to visit :) So excited!

More stash purchases to come!

The October Library Project Edition

Well it has been an interesting month. The weather has been gorgeous for October. So thrilled about that! Now to the library project list....well I have not completed anything off the list this month but I have done some projects. First off, I started and finished my Vroom, Vroom quilt.

I also decided to start doing some Maple Leaf blocks every once in a while. My hope is to make one at least every month and then in the next year, I will hopefully have blocks to whip up a Maple Leaf quilt. Here's my first Maple Leaf :)

I also just finished up this gorgeous Tahoe Tote bag. I absolutely love it! You can see more pictures of this bag here.

Don't you just love that butterfly print! Here's a peek inside.

I love the gray print for the lining. It's a text print called Rosie's Love Letters. I just put my rotary cutter in there to show the pockets and how sturdy this bag is. Absolutely love it! It'll be coming with me on my trip to Maine next week :) Oh the fabric stores!

So as the year is winding down for The Library Project, I am beginning to realize that it is ok to change what you want to make. I will most likely not complete all the projects on my list but I know I definitely did a lot more projects this year than I ever thought possible. I went out of my comfort zone and tried....sometimes kicking and screaming but I did it!

Maybe November will motivate me to knock something else off my TLP list. I'm linking up over at Adrienne's blog Chezzetcook Modern Quilts for the October TLP wrap-up. Have a visit and see what the other members of The Library Project are up to :)
