A Little Bit of Pile Progress , A Little bit of Septembers Squirrel... And a Little bit more

 I was singing the title to that song -  A little bit of Ronda in my life ... Is it Mambo Number 5? Anyways - while I wrote the title I could make it work, now I can't!!!

First - the Pile Progress... Last time I looked my Pile was about to tower over... now!! I have made a few tops from it - the first...




My September Squirrel - the BRIGHT Churn Dash is a Top!!!  My Friend had given me some fabrics and I loved the colors so dug right in ... kind of made a mess - but - now it is a top and its pretty good sized!!!

The pile is shrinking on one side... and growing on the other - I am sort of stockpiling the crumb blocks for now - don't know what I am going to do with them ,



Be A Quilter is going to do a blog hop in March - *Dust off a Quilt Book*  so I decided I needed to participate..... 



And because of this.... ( Well I really love this, but I love to come in to warmth too) I sat down with a pile of books and started browsing - I think I have found the *one* I will make.... I am excited to share about it - when I get started.... 


Also - Did you know that Anne-Marie hosts One Monthly Goal. I knew she did ... but I didn't get organized enough to choose one for January - But I will get on it for February!!! ( Right???)


Have a great Monday!! and plan on coming back here for Finished! ( or not) Friday to link up!!!

That is a gorgeous churn dash quilt! I always enjoy your view and fantasize about being able to see that every day. ;)

What a great color combo that churn dash top is. 👌 I have the OMG party on my list, but tend to miss the link deadline. Thanks for joining my Sew and Tell party. Have a blessed week. 😘

I love how bright and happy the Churn Dash quilt is. And piles have a way of evolving. Looks to me like you have some fun things in those stacks ready to come together soon!

Bonnie said...

I love churn dashes but this one wins the cake! You did a terrific job with the colors and the backgrounds. It really has me fantasizing. (Note to self -- don't start new projects -- unless everything is already in the stash...)

Lovin' that pretty churn dash quilt. I am glad I only have to look at pictures of snow!

What a great rendition of the Churn Dash quilt! Good job!

Sara said...

Can't wait to see what block you've decided to "dust off". The churn dash is gorgeous!!

That churn dash is so happy and fun! Your September squirrel adventure rocked! I did a monthly goal for quite awhile. . .but, I found I accomplished more if I set a range of goals for the month. . .my squirrel can be extra busy and working on one project wasn't "exciting" enough for her!

I love that the centers of the churn dashes are a deep lovely color. Good job getting it done!

Love me some churn dash blocks although not a fan of hst's! Looking forward to 'seeing' the quilts that are in your pile of blocks. :)

Congratulations on the finish! It's a pretty quilt.

Nann said...

I understand why you kept on making blocks -- bold color and prints! Thanks for the tip about the blog hop. I just asked to be included. Stay warm!

Love a churn dash quilt and especially love yours with the gorgeous raspberry colour fabric. It's been such a long time since I joined a blog hop - maybe 2025 will be the year I get back into it :)

Stunning Churn Dash quilt - love those colours together. Your snow scene is showing the vastness of the land, beautiful.

Bold, bright and fun, so a perfect quilt top. Looks like you are moving fabric into blocks, it's always easier to finish something from there. Looking forward to your new project.
