I didn't get through to the last border because I ran out of the orange fabric scrap that was in the plan to use.  I was short a 5" x WOF strip.  Not a thing in my stash appealed.  There will be at least one purchase at Rosie's this week.  I do like what is going on with the borders so far on Katydid.  OOPs...it was just brought to my attention that two hour glass units in the pieced border are oriented the wrong direction.  OMG...this is a busy quilt.  I have had to go back and reorient more than I'd like to admit =^.^=

Plans to sew Sunshine's September BOM coordinated by Teresa is on my machine for today.  I will probably also start cutting Popsicles that is a 2026 UFO.  Time now to hunker down on what's left on my list.

Teddy Bear 8 was finished and I am onto Teddy Bear 9.  That's it for me today.  Have a great Hump Day =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, September 14, 2026

I am very excited about Katydid.  I have the middle and pieced first border all sewn together.  On the right are the fabrics for the next three borders.  The first two are small in width and the outside border will finish at 5".  I am getting very close to a finish =^.^=

I will be starting the hunt for a backing next.  My next sewing project will be back off the 2026 UFO list.  I am determined to complete all 12 by the end of the year.

Have a wonderful Monday.

Sunday Stash Report, September 13, 2026

Flutter finished and is on its way to Maryland.  This cute butterfly quilt has a very pretty light pink quilting design that finishes the perfect look.  The solid pink binding worked out well to break up the white background.  If you look closely it isn't just a white background.

I got back to work on Katydid after finishing Flutter.  I read the instructions wrong and made twice the hour glass units that are required.  Guess I'll have a fun strip down the backing or across the sleeve.

Combined with these strip sets they will make up the pieced first border.  I love all the variety!

Going to have to figure out what's going on with my iPad camera.  URGH!  These units will come together along with the second photo.  You get the design right?  In between opening NFL season and dinner I sewed the blocks together and the pieced border through the day.

So for my stash this week Flutter completed and I stayed out of quilt shops =^.^=
