Sort of Improv Ad Hoc but definitely utility

I still haven't even begun to formulate a plan

for the AHIQ project of scale and time has almost run out!

However, four more blocks were added yesterday to Mardi Gras,

eighteen in total now, another eighteen to go! I need to make a concerted

effort to have these finished within the next two weeks.

For some reason I only took individual shots

of three of the blocks.

These are  only meet the criteria of Ad Hoc

in that strips are pulled out of the bin in an ad hoc manner, you can

see that not all the strips are even width and there is the odd

slip up in the placement in one block!

The above is the sum total of stitching over the past week.

I'm in the throes of sorting fabrics and trying to find a good

chunk of time at my desk to make a list of quilts to be finished, and in

order of importance.  Future projects need to be listed and this is the

difficult part, there are so many but not enough time!!

In the garden the Autumn colours are taking centre stage, in

addition to camellias at this time of year my hibiscus are in bloom,

I took these photos below this morning.

I have more but they can be saved for another post.

I'll end this post with a photo of my helper who decided I didn't need

to neatly fold any more fabrics for the basket, she would have

her afternoon nap in there, and she was not moving for anyone!

I'm off to visit 

Kaja at Sew Slowly and Ann at Fret Not Yourself

to catch up AHIQ posts.
