Getting it Done in October

I knew my October was going to be way busy, so I set as goals just starting on my LE part 3 and my working on the UFO.
Well I did it - just barely, LOL.  Here's my UFO from 2009 finally sandwiched and basted.  So I did start toward a finish.  I've decided to make this into a coverlet as the front is kind of heavy and I had this great ducky flannel for the back.  Figured two flannels should be warm enough for a 40 x 44 panel.  Now I just have to figure out how to quilt it. 



The other project of my two for this month is my Love Entwined.  After much looking at colors and hemming and hawing I decided on this combo:

It's not set in stone (or actually I should say fused down) yet.  I tried lighter combos and even four different fabrics in the circle, but kept coming back to this one.  But it's a start!

How did you do this month?  I'm setting small goals again as I have more company coming in November plus a birthday, Thanksgiving, and then an anniversary. So my goals for November will be to continue with the two above projects and hope to get closer to done with them.

Applique Tuesday!

I've had the kids an extra day, so a little behind - but what else is new. Anyway, I do have some applique to share with you.  Here's a peek at the quiltlet I'm putting together for our Guild's Holiday exchange.

 It has most of the applique on it than just the strip of red fabric of last week.  I had to resize it.  LOL, my algebra teacher would be proud of me.

How are you doing on your project?  Would love to see your eye candy, applique or otherwise, a future quilt or even an old one - all new to me!  Linky below.

I'm linking over to Esther's WOW and Connie's Linky Tuesday. See you there!

On my Design Wall

Besides the quilt top I was given (you can read about it on my previous Sunday post), I have these squares on my design wall:

They are log cabin blocks I am working on trying to find a use for all the solid strips of fabric that were donated to St. Ann's.  I'm using Jean Wright's Log Cabin Trim Tool.  See a video here .  This lets you make log cabin blocks fast without cutting all those strips - great for scrappy log cabin.  The strips have to be at least 1 1/2" wide; otherwise you can use any width. Check it out. Have 4 more rows to go on these.

What's on your design wall?  I'm heading over to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away to see what they're up to.
