September To-Do

Here's how my design wall is looking on the first of September. Four finishes are pinned-up, as I'm not working on piecing or designing, just doing a lot of quilting at the moment. Those finishes do need to move along and make room for what I'll be working on this coming month.

 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:🌀🌐

I continue to be a bit shocked. This is now five months in a row with some actual finishing happening. 

Yes, it 's not all that much, but there's some movement happening on several of these projects, 

I am planning on continue with the finishing energy into September.
