While I was taking it easy after my minor surgery a couple of weeks ago, I started getting serious about the applique blocks for this crib-sized quilt.
My stitches had to come out early (on Monday) due to the fact that I heal quicker than they anticipate. That's a good thing! I had an extra hour wait in the waiting room so that they could squeeze me in. Yesterday I finished all the prep work for my sew-to-go bag. I still need to figure out what scraps will be used for the rail fence blocks in the center of this quilt. I will make a trip to the quilt room today.
I'm also excited about my next applique project to go into my sew-to-go bag -- Budding Beauty. Gretchen from Gretchen's Little Corner posted a while back about this quilt. This is a FREE pattern at All People Quilt. You can find it here. I'm not sure of what color scraps I will use for this one either. It will be fun to decide. I printed the free download yesterday to take it with me to the quilt room today.
I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here. I can't believe that it is the last Sunday in October already. I seriously need to make a few quilt backs so that I can get a few quilts through the longarm. It's time to sit and stitch bindings under a quilt as cooler weather and darker days approach. We have had some frost, but the location of some of my flowers and tomatoes have not been hit yet.
