August To-Do

 

Here's what the design wall looks like on the first of the month. A lot has come and gone during July.On the left are the blocks from the Old Town Mystery quilt along with the pieced sashing.  Over on the right is, still, the classwork from the Jane Sassaman class way back in February. Now even more long languishing and drooping like the actual sour grass that I was attempting to represent.

I'm feeling pretty productive which is nice and kind of surprising, but there's a lot of stuff percolating to he top and getting done.

I'm continuing to use the not-so-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. I've added a Design section this month. Note: the use of 🥏👽  by a project name indicates that it's on the 2025 UFO Finishes challenge list of six projects that I committed to at the beginning of the year.

Once again, just like last month, another quilt gets to move to the Finished section. And that's one more off of the 🥏👽UFO list.  Hurrah, hooray! Nothing was moved to the final steps section but I'm putting ICAD in there as it finishes up at the end of July.
