Now that I'm teaching f/t I feel like it's always catch-up time. But it feels so great to have started this project & be far enough into it and happy enough with the results so far to want to keep it going. It's keeping me in the quilting process - at least a couple blocks every couple weeks. And DH finished the install of my new design wall just about the time that I outgrew my portable bulletin board felt board to see them all laid out as we go.
I'm trying not to repeat fabrics so far, but that will probably get a little tougher as we progress. Now that we're this far, I've got to get back to the site & print out the template pages for the last 50 blocks. I have been keeping a binder w/template pieces in plastic sandwich bags stapled to the rotary cutting instructions, & the dates of block completion. Tho the layout grid is staying on the computer 'til all is input.
I like the idea about starting to attach a sashing strip to one side, tho haven't even really begun to think about a color yet...
Great fun! Thanks to all for this project - it's helping me keep my sanity this time around in the teaching process (so far!)
