March To-Do

Here's how my design wall is looking on the first day of this new month of March. Pretty un-busy and un-crowded compared to last month. That's because I had to take everything down in order take the picture of the enormous City Sampler quilt. The Patchwork Palooza blocks are now a top awaiting a border (maybe?).  The untouched blocks for the BAMQ Creative Play project are on the right.

Note: the use of 🥏👽  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:🌀🌐
