First up, a finish of an RSC2020 quilt: Sand Castles by Bonnie Hunter. It’s my first BH quilt & I like how it turned out. It started out as an L&E project, then turned into a project to work on with the month’s color last year. I love the strippy border, & used a tan ombre for the binding. It looks so subtly cool that it might be my new fav binding option. This is a gift for this Christmas. (photo taken in front of our shed, on which my hubby painted a quilt block for me!)

I got an aqua & a light blue friendship star block done this week, with thanks to Deb A. for the inspiration. I’m making 2 each month.

I know, these aren’t aqua, but I got those done last week, & there’s 16 blues to do in the pattern. They are light & dark blue combined, so I’m in the light blue wheelhouse. Only red, purple, & orange blocks left for this King-size Irish Chain quilt using the tutorial from Melissa Corry. So happy to be getting these done. The middle two seams are pressed open & that takes forever, so it’s an accomplishment to see all those blocks on my design wall!
With two weeks left in the month, I think I can get my other projects moved along, although there’s so much going on here currently, it’s been tough to eke out sewing time. We’ll see what next week brings!
