A flimsy finish

I decided instead of starting a new project for this week's Cha Cha Challenge, which was home decor so I went with a wall hanging with a wreath on it, I'd finish one I'd started but not got very far so I finally finished Chateaux Duma, which is a pattern by Nancy at My Threads. Ok I only finished the top but it still counts because I ran out of thread!

You have to forgive the blue painters tape but because this only uses 1 charm pack the borders are stretched but I'm pretty sure I can quilt it down, which is what Nancy did and her's looks wonderful.
I again ran very close to running out of thread on this one.

I came this close again with the thread I was using to piece which means I really need to hit the store this weekend to get some thread.

Block 6 of Le Jardin arrived today, and so did my Schnibbles book! And it was only 10 days after shipping which lately is fantastic time.

Another Cha Cha Challenge was to make a quilt with charm squares, well that's easy lol since I've been doing Year of Schnibbles but I wanted to do something different because, well it's a challenge right? So I came up with a pattern and started making it but I've fallen behind so here's a peek of the pink and orange winged geese in my pinwheels.
What do you think? Eventually it will be 45x54 before borders in a 6x7 setting.

I thought the wreath was part of your Le Jardin project until I read your post. That is lovely handwork Cara!

You are going to town on those little quitls! Very clever, I like the looks of it.
