2025 Temperature Quilt Piecing Progress--post four

Progress at the end of October 
Generally, I've been posting progress on this project each month as part of my recap of the month and goal setting for the following month. The last post I wrote about this project was in July!

My goal each month has been to piece as many houses as I can. Nineteen blocks comprise a row. If I piece at least two rows each month then I am "gaining" on catching up!

The first photo represents where I ended up in October. I had pieced and put into rows the days through August 4! This will be last "floor" photo because the next row will make the piece too large for the floor. It is destined to be a bed quilt so photographing it on the bed does make sense!

Progress at the end of November
I spent a lot of time this month piecing the center of Grassy Creek and selecting/prepping fabrics for Bonnie Hunter's mystery and leader/ender. My granddaughter's garment also took a chunk of time. I ALWAYS underestimate the time it is going to take me to make progress on a project. 

Previously, I would estimate how far I would get on a project. Many times I fell short of the goal. I LOVE being able to check a box off of my monthly goal list. Thanks to my friend Linda D who pointed me and my squirrel, Gertie, to the "make progress" goal rather than be so specific! Making that change saw me completing more items on my list. Some months I went further on a project than I had envisioned. Some months, I didn't make much progress. The point was, though, I made some progress. 

This month, I made some progress on this project. I have pieced a little over a row. The rows represent the days through August 22nd. While I'd love to have made more progress, I'm happy that I made progress! Moving this project forward was goal number three on my November list.
