Chookshed Challenge Progress

This is as far as I am going with the Macaron Mystery Quilt for now. 

I have all the blocks made and all the sashing strips made and sewn together. I sewed the blocks and sashing together in diagonal rows. My thoughts are to add a 1 inch black border around the center, then a 3 inch border of the creamy background. Then frame the whole thing with that dark focus fabric. I am hoping to have enough for a 5 inch border. We shall see. 

This is the problem I ran into earlier. Those quarter square triangles on the outer triangle units are a bit big. That means the other half of those are all too small. So, I have to figure out how to grow the others so I can complete the rest of the triangle to fill in the outside edges. That is a problem for another day. 

I have a Writing Workshop here this Sat and I need to put away all my quilting toys from the SonRoom to make room for humans who want to learn how to write their stories. I am so excited! 

In the meantime, October will be the final month for the Chookshed Challenge. The last project on my original list is Serendipity and I just do not want to work on that one. Instead, I will work on the Churn Dash SAL Chooky challenged us with 2 years ago. I made a great start then put everything into a project box. I have it down here ready to pick up and play with next week. I am also taking part in Leanne's WIPS-B-GONE challenge. I will have a project list made up for Oct 1 and To-Do Tuesday. How is that for planning ahead? 

Blessings,

Chris
