May To-Do

Here's what my design wall looks like at the beginning of May. Peeking out on the left is the Metro Twist top and backing all pinned up so it doesn't get wrinkly. Then there is Slopes, which I'm almost finished quilting. The sour grass piece I started in the Jane Sassaman class is still up there on the right, kind of, still waiting to be made into a quilt top. The toilet paper "border" was removed by my studio assistant. In front is the BAMQ challenge piece which needs the binding, sleeve and label. Then underneath, is the Stamp Quilt blocks which were taken down to bring to the retreat in March, which I didn't get to, and they haven't been put back up on the wall yet. And below that is what will be the center of the backing for the Tula Pink City Sampler.

I'm continuing to use the new configuration of my to-do list below, as it more closely follows the database categories that I use to keep track of all my work-in-progress. Note: the use of 🥏👽  by a project name indicates that it's nearly classified as a UFO at this point by age so "Hey, you should work on it!"
