Quilting in September

With kiddos starting school, our normal routines have been thrown out the window and I've been trying to play catch up for quite some time now.  I let my friend borrow my machine while I was in a lull and she had some projects she needed to complete while her machine was acting up.

I had a deadline for a project due September 20th so I knocked that one out first.  I tried my hand at applique, the freezer paper method.  I'm still not a big of it but it might be something I'd be willing to practice some more with.  I'll be posting my block and hopefully a peek at the finished project later.  

Then I was able to squeak out two more blocks for M's quilt as well.  These are the blocks I sent out to my multiple mom quilt bee group.  I have 14 12 inch blocks completed now.  I need 35, still a ways to go. 

I'm using this block from Fresh Lemon Quilts with three shades of grey and one bright teal as the solids and then a bunch of fabrics from Annela Hoey, A Walk in the Woods  and Little Apples.

I got some more quilting done for C's quilt and I'm having a great time.  I'm mixing a bunch of different quilting designs and I'm having a lot of fun.  If I had to guess, I'd say I'm maybe 1/3 of the way done maybe.

Next up, making two blocks for this month's MoM quilt bee based on this quilt, Converging Corners at Film in the Fridge.

I've got some holidays gifts that I'll be working on as well.  No updates on those until after the holidays.
