I spent most of July alternating between catching up on my quilt-alongs and spending time with my kids both inside and out. This worked out really well because I felt like I was getting a lot done even when I only had twenty minutes or so to sew!
First, my Summer Sampler blocks. As always with this sampler, I am mixing things up and creating my own interpretation of the blocks. There are currently three blocks in the "to make" pile but I adore the nine that I have done already and can't wait to have this quilt on my bed.
Next, my 100 days blocks. This year it's a new pattern and there's lot about it that I really like: the unique way Angie wrote the pattern, not all the blocks are square, most of the blocks are a quick sew, and the blocks aren't in any particular order based on what elements make them up. My plan for a pastels has slipped a little, but I'm ok with that. I've long been obsessed with crazy quilts and making this is a joy.
Finally, my goal quilt-along: the Quiet Play blocks! I am happy to report that I made my goal! I sewed four new blocks.

I also worked on the layout and sewed together what I could. It looks like I may have a few y-seams but one or two of those don't bother me as long as it's for the greater good of the quilt! This is more of a reference picture than a blog-quality photo, but I am sharing it anyway. I'm happy to have my quilt top down to five pieces!
I'm linking up my successful goal finish with Elm Street Quilts!
