Last Oct Finished (or not) Friday

My recovering DH was left at home yesterday while I took off on my own. I drove over an hour to the Quilt Patch in Mount Pleasant, PA to pick up the shop hop prize I won.  I’m glad it was at this shop as this was one we didn’t make it to during the hop. I snagged a couple of red fabrics and they graciously gave me a packet from the hop with a FQ.  Definitely worth the trip. In addition, I made a stop at the Goodwill Bins Outlet to see if there were any good shirts for my shirting stash.  All in all a wonderful day out even though it rained the whole time.


Also in the picture above is a lovely seam ripper made by my friend’s husband. I can’t believe I forgot to mention it before but I had tucked it safely in my purse. He uses plastic bags and somehow ends up with these lovely handles!

Here’s the kit I won, the second one this year….I feel very fortunate.  Check out that cute panel!  That’s 7 3/4yards in…for my records 😉


I thought I should get a handle on where I stand with a couple projects since it’s definitely Not Finished Friday here in the Moore Quilt Studio.  


I have 26 and need 34 of the 54-40 or Fight blocks and have 36 and need 25 of the Birthday Girl blocks. I’m getting there…….


The mountain blocks are leftovers so I’m making more blocks so I can use them up.  I have 10 downhill blocks and now have 8 uphill blocks.  I have squares enough for 80 total blocks that can be set either 48”x75” or 60 x60”.  I want to use up all the blocks and think the 60”x60” size would be best.  I won’t be keeping this one but am not sure where it will go.  

Linking up with Alycia’s Finished (or Not) Friday.

Happy Halloween! Cherie

  3. Those reds are pretty! That seam ripper is beautiful, but what do you do when the blade gets dull? I am hard on seam rippers so I got thru a lot of them.
