I love that Barbara @ CatPatches gives us permission to start something NEW with no pressure to finish, just start something. It really helps to keep the FUN in quilting.
My official NewFO was for the Doll Quilt Swap Group and the theme was Mellow Yellow. My partner and I agreed on staying on theme and she mentioned she likes bright and modern. This is a free pattern called Swirly Twirly Dresden and can be found HERE.
I just love this fabric and wish I had gotten more. Perfect for the back and binding and little dolly's dress.
I finally got to finishing up my Something Old. This was a mystery offered by my LQS (who recently relocated-could cry) on Super Bowl Sunday. To me it is too large for a wallhanging, but not big enough for a quilt. Perfect for a table cloth with those grapes and wine glasses?
My Something New was the baby quilt for the much anticipated granddaughter. September 22 can't come soon enough!
And my little Let's Book It project was finished I can't believe this little piece took me all month to do.
The RSC14 light green blocks to add to the box. Four great scrappy quilts are going to evolve from these months of colour play.
And my Handmade Christmas/Simple Small Project combo made for another addition to the pressie box.
Some QALs - Doodle Quilts Row, Marcus Brother, and Country Corners - added to the mix. Oh, and some secret sewing too.
August was a lovely month of starts and finishes - most importantly, I had fun with my quilting.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

I swear I just read your August goals and now the month is at the end. I love your mellow yellow doll quilt. Yellow is such a happy color. Great month!
So where did Quiltbug relocate to? She mentioned the move on the web, but gave no information about where she was moving to.... inquiring minds want to know!
You have some lovely finishes, Sharon. I love the Swirly Twirly doll quilt. It is so unusual.
Mellow Yellow is adorable...it will be loved by the recipient! You have such wonderful projects here!
I don't usually like modern, but mellow Yellow Twirly one is great! You have a special touch putting fabrics together for these little ones! Great finishes all around for a wonderful month.
The doll quilt is fabulous! You had a great month of starts and finishes.
Oh my goodness, you really made some beautiful projects! That Swirly Twirly quilt is just stunning...I love it!
The doll quilt is so different and nice. I'm not usually into modern, but I like that. Love everything else, as well.
You keep busier than anyone I know. You must be super organized.
Oh my goodness! You are AMAZING!!! I love all of these.

Good Job on your projects in spite of Summer! I like the doll quilt and your month-long Book-it quilt.
Love the yellow mini and the girl quilt and all the other lovely things you completed. Nicely done as always. And I'm so sorry that you are sad about the LQS moving but perhaps we will be able to meet up more often now.
