Chasing the blues

I managed to meet the August target well in time. Feeling happy. I finished four sets of dresses that are cool and comfortable to wear in this hot weather and I finished the borders on my quilt. I ran out of fabric right at the end with two small pieces of border to be attached and had a near heart-attack when I went to the shop and was told they were out of that colour. Thankfully it turned out it had been just misplaced and I did not have to resort to using another shade of blue. Oh did I tell you that  my quilt is blue and so are all the dresses I made this month. Weird coincidence right?
Here is a photo of my quilt panel with borders. ( Don't have enough floor space to spread all four panels out)
And here is a photo of my dresses.

August borders

I just managed to remember in time that I should decide on my project for August. Hmm I plan on seeing four cotton tops. The heat is unrelenting. But I want to get some quilting done too. So will do the borders for my quilt. The one I finished piecing last month. Getting the sandwiches ready would be a bonus!!. Sharing this with ALYOF.
