Design Wall Monday

I really like this Design Wall Monday theme that Judy Laquidara hosts.  It’s become my favorite post of the week (along with UFO Thursday), partly because I think back over what I’ve accomplished in the past week, and what’s waiting for me in the next week.  Both Monday’s and Thursday’s posts are production related.

On the left-hand side of my design wall:  There’s still the Asian BOM blocks waiting patiently along the left-hand side.  I think I’m a block/month behind.  (So much for production!) 

In the middle of my design wall:  I’m getting some work done on my 9-patch quilt from Amandajean’s site; I have all the blocks done, and I’m sewing sashing pieces to the sides.  I have the 20 blocks with sashing attached on the wall, and have two 10-block stacks pinned up there to grab and stitch when time permits this week.

In the lower right corner of my design wall:  I’m working on Judy L’s Shine on Bayou Cane blocks (a UFO from last fall).  I want to get eight more blocks finished by Thursday (24 done so far), so I have those pinned along the right-hand side as a reminder that I have homework! 

On the Gammill is a Lucky Stars quilt (Terri Atkinson pattern) made from fabrics bought on our Alaskan trip five or so years ago.  ANOTHER UFO!!!  I’m telling you, they are everywhere!!!  (I will share a picture of that on UFO Thursday.)  DH’s birthday is in a couple of weeks, and this quilt is for him.

 I finished a pinwheel block for our box exchange, but because I won’t be there Wednesday for the exchange, I had to hand it off early.  Good thing I took a picture!  She requested a variety of pinwheels, so I tried this one I found in EQ that has some curved seaming:

This was a fun little block to make (it will be 6 1/2″ finished); I just wouldn’t care to do a whole quilt of this block!
