Here's how the design wall is looking on the first day of this new month. Pretty busy and crowded! Patchwork Palooza blocks and sashing are still awaiting re-arrangment and assembly. May You Ever Return is pinned up on top of it. Over on the right are finished pieces, Clean Cloud from Project Quilting is pinned up over the SAT 25 quilt, Our Mistake. Above are a few things like my dragon paper pieced block which I still need to do something with, but I like seeing it. Same with the 3-D cube made with my own dyed fabrics.
Note: the use of π₯π½ by a project name indicates that it's on the 2026 UFO Finishes challenge list of six projects that I committed to finishing at the beginning of the year (more on that list later). Note, this is not the same list as the UFO Challenge for BAMQ, that UFO will have this next to it on the list:ππ
