Progress on my One Monthly Goal

My One Monthly Goal for October is to quilt my Rainbow Beads Curtain quilt, which was my Rainbow Scrap Challenge project in 2020.

This was also my goal for September, but I didn't get further than layering and pinning.

Now I'm quilting in the ditch around the "beads" with the walking foot and have finished two of the nine columns. 

I can only do one column a day as there is a lot of fabric to manoeuvre through the throat every time I change direction, and I'm trying to go easy on my shoulders. It's slow, but its progress!

I'm linking this weekend to:

Needle and Thread Thursday at My Quilt Infatuation on Thursday,

Peacock Party at Wendy's Quilts and More on Friday,

Rainbow Scrap Challenge at Soscrappy on Saturday,

October is the lime green month

For the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) Angela gives a different colour each month, and quilters around the world make blocks, or entire projects featuring that colour. 

 

 This is the last colour this year as November and December are for putting the project together, or doing last minute Christmas sewing, in my case!

Joy has a table scraps challenge this year, and I'm combining the two challenges.

There isn't much lime green among my green scraps.

 

 But.... look what I found lurking in its recesses!

It looks a bit yellow here, but really it's green!

On a different subject: last week I mentioned in my post that the quilt I'm now quilting kept slipping off the table while I was trying to layer it. I had a couple of useful tips in the comments:

Great table topper! Are you using the roll on boards method to pin the quilt on a table? It works really well.

Your bead quilt looks fantastic! The floor is too hard for layering. I have some giant clips (about 5cm across) that I use to keep the quilt on the table for pinning. You can see them in action on this blog post: https://weednstitch.blogspot.com/2019/01/flowers-and-pins.html

When I asked Deb about the "roll on boards" she sent this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhwNylePFAA  Brilliant!

 

A lot of green outside today, as we move quite suddenly from Summer to Autumn.

There's even some lime green here too, thanks to the town's gardens department!

One monthly goal for October

In October I aim to finish my Bead Curtain Quilt that I was layering at the end of September. Although it had been my goal for September I just did not have enough handwork time to get it quilted.

October is set to be a less hectic month than September was, so here's hoping for more progress.
