WIP Wednesday - 9/26

Today is my follow up from my dental work a couple of weeks ago. I have been eating soft foods for 2 weeks (mostly) and I am SOOOOO ready to get the OK to eat whatever I want. My lunch tomorrow will probably consist of Taco Bell and Doritos! Most definitely the Doritos!

I didn't have much to post last week so I skipped the WIP Wednesday post. I do have things to show this week so I am pretty stoked to post!

I made 2 Midget blocks.

I made 2 BOM blocks for the Paris in the Fall BOM that is from 2009. An older UFO!

I also worked on another UFO as a leader/ender project. This is called Moon Pie. There are 2 more pieces to be sewn to these blocks and I think that there are 48 blocks total for the quilt. I actually sewed a bunch of these Tuesday morning while I was watching the news. So much for keeping them as leaders and enders.

I had to finish a UFO for my Queen of UFO's Yahoo group so I pulled out a selection of charm squares and a pattern that I put aside last December for holiday table runners. I got this finished in just about 36 hours. I worked on the piecing while I watched Survivor and the Big Brother finale (so excited for Ian to win, btw!)!

I have made great progress on my fourth Scrap Squad quilt, but I can't show anything. There is a lot of paper piecing and I am in the assembly phase of the top right now. I have decided that since my quilting space is limited, I am going to send this quilt off to Ruth in Indiana for quilting and she will have it ready for me at the quilt retreat that is in 3 weeks and 1 day.

Even though I am still working on the fourth Scrap Squad, the magazine has already selected the fifth pattern and sent that last week. I spent Friday evening drawing the pattern up in EQ and then re-coloring everything until I found the design that I like. I think that I am going to start pulling fabrics as soon as I finish the fourth Scrap Squad and make the Blog Hop goodies. The winner has been very patient, but I don't want to wait too much longer!

Wow! You have plans to be in the sewing room a lot next week. Love those colors in the UFO and the table runner. That L&E blocks look cute. I can't wait to see what they look like in the quilt.
