Work in Progress Wednesday - Week 34

I really don't know how you people with jobs do this. I've been running around like mad organizing fundraisers and venues for our squadron's holiday party, and when I get home, I don't have the energy to do a Swoon block.

I started piecing my Fall-gyle top instead - because offset seams and bias edges are so much easier than a Swoon block. Only 3/4ths of it fit on my design wall.

I'm also quilting the Steelers Quilt. This is my first "custom" quilting. I did three outlining lines in black on the Xs, and I'm switching to gold thread in the Os - unfortunately, this means a lot of knots to bury since the Os don't touch! Each border will get Xed and Oed in contrasting thread, as well.

I got it done before Halloween, even.

Hunter's Star, round two - 60/90 light blue half-blocks

Quilt-Alongs: 
Fat Quarter Stars - already behind a block
Argyle Quilt Along - started piecing
LQS Saturday Sampler - won't be going this month, so pushed to the back burner
Quiltville Orca Bay - I know, I have way too many projects, and Bonnie's quilts have an insane amount of piecing, and I'm far too controlling to do a "mystery" quilt... But I think I'm going to anyway. Starts 11/18.

Christmas Sewing:
Grinch panel quilt - niece
Rudolph panel quilt - the Dude
