OMG July: Blocks for Quilts for Pulse (update)

Call me crazy, but I decided to go ahead and make an entire quilt top for Quilts for Pulse, instead of just a few blocks.  So far I have everything except the sashing strips cut out (because I decided to do a bit different layout than the general one most folks are using).  I'm using batiks for the hearts, text/graphic prints for the backgrounds, the grayish Tula Pink for the sashing, and the rainbow batik for corner blocks.

The general idea laid out in EQ7:

My goal for July was to get two blocks made, and I've done that.  Here they are (all wrinkly and bad lighting):

Finish-a-Long: 2016 Q3 List

I finished nothing in the second quarter.  I spent much of the time getting all the blocks done for my Library Books-for-Baby Quilt, so I haven't been completely unproductive.  Just nothing got to the quilted and bound state.  Somehow I got off track with my Project 48 Quilt and the Modern HST Quilt during the fifth (free) week at the end of April, which is when my focus seemed to switch to the Library Quilt.  I have done no quilty sewing for the last two weeks, and that won't be changing since I'm travelling the next two weeks.  I haven't had time to think about a travelling project.
So here's my UFO list for the Finish-a-Long (ones in bold are my main focus for the third quarter--but since I tend to be circular in how I finish things, meaning I go around and around, I can't say what will come next):

• Paradiso Layers-of-Charm lap quilt (need to piece the back, baste, and quilt)

• Breast Cancer/Pink Heart lap quilt
  
• Windmill Quilt (pieces purchased off eBay long ago)
  
• do something with my stash that is scrappy (maybe cut them into pre-cuts--not a FAL goal, but I'm leaving it here for me)
•  and do something with all the charm packs/mini charm packs I've acquired the past two years (ones I bought and ones given to me as swap extras; probably a half dozen projects in there) 

  

  Some of my charm packs

  

Quite a list, I know.  And that's only a small part of the projects swirling around in my head or that I have in my UFO pile.

OMG July: Blocks for Quilts for Pulse

Quick post for my July goal. I received a fat quarter from Marcus Fabrics to make a block for #QuiltsforPulse. Not going to have much sewing time until later in the month, so not sure how many blocks I can get done, but I'm shooting for two. (If I get ambitious, it may be more.) I've been dragging my feet because I don't have many bright, rainbow colors to make the heart blocks. I may default to some bright batiks and my other text fabrics. I'd really like to sew my stash for these.
