It's time to check in with Judy over at www.patchworktimes.com and show that my July challenges were finished and report what my August challenges are.
1. Quilt red and white 4 patch top....DONE
2. Piece ABC123 blocks into a top .... DONE
3. Piece red, white and blue strip blocks into a top....DONE although this wasn't done as large as i first thought i was going to make it.....i'm saying this is good. done is good.
4. Piece disappearing 16 patch blocks .... DONE
So, that means in July i actually quilted 1 top and added 3 more to the to-be-quilted cabinet. not exactly a way to get ahead.....but it is using up the stash.
My 4 projects for August are:
1. Quilt my friend Brenda's top. she wants to put it in a show in October. i've had it a week or more and so far it is still sitting on the table where i set it. sigh!! i actually went to the studio yesterday to load it...and never touched it. i NEED to load that top.....then perhaps i will get it quilted.
2. Finish piecing my Alphabet Square blocks. i think i have 12 of the 26 letters done ....want to get all the pictures that i have fused onto the squares. i'll be searching for more pictures. this one will be a great challenge. a few of the letters have almost no pictures....i'm on the hunt. got any unusual pictures you want to trade with me? B and C are the only 2 letters that are completely finished.
3. Paper Piece more veggie blocks. i have a book with patterns for lots of vegetables. i did a few some time back...tomato, corn, eggplant, bell peppers, etc. need to finish those up. probably about 12 vegetables left to do. these are rather difficult to do. i guess that is why i gave them up.
4. Piece my Album of Memories top. i have about half of the blocks done. this is the pattern
here is the center
this is one of the blocks. it was tough. i have 7 blocks finished so far....the top 3, the 3 on the right side, and the one in the middle of the bottom row. they are a bit complicated...lots to do. most blocks are a combination of piecing and applique...but i am fusing them...so it is do-able.
I am still on track.....so wish me luck to continue in that vein. August will be canning tomatoes month.....so that will suck a lot of time. but i'll be working it. who's with me.....is your challenge list getting done?

Your pictures are wonderful! Great job with you July list. I have a bunch of tomatoes to pick also but I'm not sure I have enough to can. :)
Great job with your July goals. Your August list sounds very ambitious - good luck!
