To-Do #52+19 Weekly Update
This is our 71st edition of our weekly to-do list. We share this post on Beth’s Cooking Up Quilts website on Mondays, and Christine’s Stitch All the Things website on Tuesdays. Check it out as other friends post their to-do lists as well! ~smile~
To-Do for the week August 13th through 19th:
- Start sewing the Pixel Heart quilt – √ done
- Sew the August Fireburst blocks – √ done
- Rehearsal dinner and William & Nicole’s wedding – √ done
- Dominic’s sibling reveal party – it’s a . . .
To-Do #1
We did start sewing the pixel heart quilt, but haven’t quite decided what kind of borders to add. Here are the basic 14 rows sewn together. Next time you see this quilt, it will be complete! The background fabric we are using we originally chose for our mantle/chest quilt but it was a bit too beige/gold. In contrast, it seems to fit these fabrics just perfectly.
To-Do #2
The August Fireburst block information was shared on the first of the month. We started to put it together and found we had mixed up the labels on the fabrics. For that reason, we had to remake the smaller pieces and then we could sew the blocks together. I am happy to say all four blocks are together now.
To-Do #3 and #4
Oh boy, did we have fun this weekend. As a result, I will share a few pictures. But you will have to wait for them until our Thursday loves post.
August OMG
For our Elm Street Quilts’ August OMG we are going to quilt and bind Garden Gate. This will also complete a UFO from last October. Binding is all that is left! Woot woot!
To-Do August 20th through 26th:
How did it get to the end of August already?!!
- Finish quilting delectable mountains table runner
- Layer fall leaves quilt for hand quilting
- Find backing for the pixel heart quilt – sew on the borders, too

I’m really liking the background for your Fireburst Mystery Quilt! I’ll be really interested to see the full reveal.

Oh wow! First time to you blog!! And I can see I’ll be spending a lot of time catching up!!! And we have a love of Baby Quilts in common!!!
Well, the days do seem to pass by whether we are aware or not. That’s how it got to be the last of August. But I am still considering it the middle of August since it’s close to August 15th than August 31st!
You know you can email me with the baby reveal…I can be trusted, honest! My lips are sealed!
Busy, busy, busy, Love the pixel heart!
I didn’t see your Up from here quilt on the list. You must be getting very, very busy!
Oh, I like your Fireburst fabrics! Looking forward to the photos of your weekend shenanigans!
Yes where in the world did August go-or the summer or the year for that matter!! Chop, chop for all us-so many projects to finish.
