If you look at finishes I haven’t had a very productive day. But I have made progress on a few projects.

I’m almost three-quarters of the way through the binding on my mystery quilt. I’ll be checking in with the Guild a few times tomorrow and I hope to finish the binding while we chat.

I planned to spend the majority of my day on my Laundry Basket mystery. Clue 7 was released this morning and I started the day working on Clue 2. When I went to lay the blocks I had finished onto my grid I realized that I was missing four blocks from Clue 1. I’m now working on Clue 3 and I’m at the point in the layout that I can see where blocks fit together. I’ll continue to work on this for another day and then I’ll move on to something else. I realize I’m not able to keep up to the daily clues so I don’t feel too much pressure.

And what will I move on to? If the weather cooperates I have a couple of projects that I want to get sandwiched; I have to wait for a sunny day without any breeze as I spray-baste them. Both projects of course are on the list to be quilted – one of them is a Guild project and I need to get it done before the middle of June.

And the last Guild project that I need done is my Log Cabin quilt. I have seven of the last eight blocks that need to be repaired or redone so that will have to move up on the list. I’m not planning to have it quilted before the end of our Guild year.
