July...

 350 blocks challenge by Prairie Moon 

July blocks made: 32

Total YTD blocks made: 334

• 1 Celestial Star - well, sort of.  I turned the elephant 90 degrees wrong.  This is the second time I have made the same mistake.  Isn't that a sign that you are crazy?  

I keep forgetting that the block needs to be turned so as to align with matching background fabrics.  Can you see the mistake? I love the secondary pattern happening in the backgrounds!

Can I just add that the elephant applique' really is a fantastic way to avoid getting all of those twelve points in the center to come together perfectly?  I actually cut the wedges off in the middle because ithey are covered.

• 4 scissor blocks
• 2 Camp Curtains
• 1 Crazy Quilty Lady quilt top assembly

• 1 Black n White flower quilt top assembly (I will get a photo when it returns from the quilter.)
• 4 Dollar Building Blocks - Month 2 stars
• 12 spring mystery hexie flower blocks
• 4 spring mystery applique' blocks
• 1 Stashbee exchange block
• 2 Exchange blocks (star and a bear paw)

Zoom - Yay!  

I was finally available when Chooky chose to zoom.  I nearly finished the 2nd quarter panel of my Laundry Basket Mystery applique' while enjoying a nice visit.  It is so wonderful to have actually met several of these wonderful ladies in person when I visited Australia in April.

Attendees were from Australia, New Zealand, Norway, the U.S.A., and Canada.  We have another friend that joins us from Germany, but I must have missed her.

15 Minutes Update

July Progress.  

The yellow shows every project that I actually made some progress on in July.  I had 2 complete finishes and two tops done.  Yay!  This means I can start new projects soon!

I have eleven total finishes for the year, two of which were UFOs/WIPs and 9 were Newfos.  A Newfo is a new start for 2023.

I am hopeful to complete 6 more this year.  Two are at the quilters which will leave me with only 4 to complete my goal.
