12 Things: August Update

This month, BJ joined the family early in the month, which set up a cascade of postpartum issues for me.  After my other children, recovery was quick and I sewed soon after.  This time, not so much.

August’s 12 Things goal was to, at the very least, finish the Block A set for my Irish Chain quilt.  Alas, I made it as far as sewing six sets together, but I won’t quite make the seventh strip set before the end of the month.  Still, the progress has been good.  I knew this quilt would take longer than a month, and since I’m pondering the insanity of hand quilting it, it may be even longer than this year to finish!

For September, I’ll be making a purple Christmas stocking.  In the background, I’ll keep working on my Irish Chain quilt.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
