\"Design<\/a>
Design Wall -Friday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I decided to join in the Design Wall Monday posts that people write and discuss. Why not?<\/p>\n

My design wall looks remarkably similar to the last time I posted about my design wall<\/a>. I did note that I have made progress. Though we had some things to do this weekend,\u00a0 I decided to make progress, thus the two photos – before and after. The Before photo was taken Saturday morning about 8:45 and I snapped (HA!) the After photo yesterday in the late afternoon.<\/p>\n

I can’t discuss every little detail of everything on my design wall, but there are a few things. First, deciding to make progress meant that I had to actually clean up my sewing room. Horizontal surfaces were stacked with stuff, so I had to clean those off on Friday. That led to me taking photos of projects in process. I finally had a chance to lay things out.<\/p>\n

Each of the areas are numbered, so you will see the numbers in parentheses below.<\/p>\n

Second, (#3) those octagons are taking up a lot of space, so I decided I would start with the top row and sew all of the octagons in each of those colors until I had sewn the triangles on to each color. Once the stack on my sewing table had been sewn, I would take the octagon off the design wall and sew that. As I took them off, I would have more space on the wall.<\/p>\n

Third, (#1) the FOTY 2014 patches had been up there a long time. I have a big pile of fabric to press, so I pressed some of that on Friday in order to fill in the group of patches,<\/p>\n

Next, (#4) those Russian Rubix blocks had been on the all for a long time. There were pieces and parts of others on my sewing table, so those were sewn pretty early.<\/p>\n

Fifth, (#5) I had pieces and parts of the black\/grey donation blocks so I sewed those together as well.<\/p>\n

Sixth, (#6) That Stars in Stripes 8 pointed star got very close to being made. I have to unearth the templates or rotary cutting directions for the background, so close, but no cigar.<\/p>\n

Seventh, (#2) I am still making those turquoise and red four patches. I have a lot more patches than four patches at the moment and need to get busy. Too many other leaders and enders right at the moments.<\/p>\n

Eighth, (#7) I made the 9 patch, but the Young Man sewed the button to the middle in Cub Scouts. I am still trying to think of a project in which to include it.<\/p>\n

Last, (#8) those are some of my favorite ATCs. I keep them near my sewing machine so I can be reminded to be creative.<\/p>\n

Design Wall – Sunday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After sewing, truly, like a maniac, on and off all weekend I did make some progress.<\/p>\n

The four patches didn’t change except that I thought about sewing them.<\/p>\n

I took the late July\/ early August batch of FOTY patches off the wall and started pressing and cutting a new batch. The ones you see on the wall happen to be Field Day.<\/p>\n

I finished a few of the Russian Rubix colors from the top row. The last purple\/violet (on the wall on the right) is a bear to get through. I cut extra octagons, so I am sewing for a long time to get through them. Clearly I was afraid someone would steal that fabric in that colorway and I wanted to have plenty. In between I have been sewing other colors as well, so there is some variety in the new blocks.<\/p>\n

Since I had so many new quarter blocks for the Russian Rubix, I started laying out new blocks.<\/p>\n

That 8 pointed star is still there, as you can see. It is, really, getting closer to the top of the list.<\/p>\n

What do you think about my progress?<\/p>\n

What’s on your design wall?<\/p>\n
