First Rain of Monsoons!

 The high temps aren't going down, but we finally had our first bit of rain from monsoon season! It's only rained once, but we got quite a bit of rain (and hail) in the short time it rained. This summer has been brutally hot and worrisomely dry. 


I've been mostly doing Nana things this week, but I did manage to finish another quilt before Nana duty started. 


It's one of the quilt tops I made in the hotel room, and it's now a finished twin sized quilt. It's finish #13 for the year. 

Next week's goal's are catching up on the temperature quilt and the murder mystery quilt. Anything else is a bonus. I did manage to get another deadline quilt mostly cut out. I can start piecing it now, but there will be some applique on top of the piecing I haven't prepped yet. That's ok, because I have multiple quilts that need applique prep done, so I'll just try to prep it all at once. 

I hope it's cooler wherever you are, temps near 110F are getting old.

Love this quilt! Thank you for reminding me of this pattern. I've been wanting to make this in a throw size for my church's quilting ministry for a while now. I think I'll make the sashing scrappy neutrals and the blocks with civil war darks for a man's quilt. Most of our fabric is more favorable for lady's quilts and I try to supplement with quilts from my stash. There's no way I'll ever sew it all up.
