OPAM and UFO report

I am a little late in getting this done but better late than never I guess. First off my UFO'S , it was not a successful month in the ufo department ,I only managed to sew my existing blocks of the crazy patch blocks together and make three more blocks .

Here is what it looks like right now , I needed to make one to complete that last row so that is not attached to the top just yet .I made that block plus two more but since I did not have time to do the fancy stitches on them they have not been attached. Here are the blocks I made.
Now as I look at this top I think I will have to make several more blocks to make this a decent size lap quilt so that is my plan for this month to continue making blocks and hopefully get them sew together as well. I prepped one basket block but did not even start the hand work so this is how it stands right now.
I am trying to decide whether to add leaves and I think I will so will cut a few more and get started on this . My other plan for this month was to work on the nine patch and snowball Christmas blocks but nothing happened at all and  the fairies must have been to busy to help ;-) SO... my plans for August include working on the three projects from last month . I am linking up today to Carrie of A Passion for Applique , wish me luck for a better month this month  .
 OPAM for this month , I completed the following , 8 postcards , 3 totes , 3 mug rugs , 2 aprons ,a case for my kobo and one for my camera for a total of 18 , so I guess my time was spent doing new rather than UFO'S ,Oops !
Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day. Oh just a reminder to those who participated in the postcard exchange that I hope all cards have now been sent and hopefully all received as well.If I can figure it out we will have a linky party  to show off our pretty cards in the very near future.
hugs Sheila

  13. That hexie flower basket is just the cutest. I think leaves would make it perfect!! Can't wait to see more. I love crazy quilts and yours is no exception. It's looking great and I look forward to seeing the finished quilt. I made one last year, but handquilted it instead of embellishing it with fancy stitches. I ended up adding sashing to make it bigger. I was really pleased with the results.
