By yesterday 12 were left, which meant 3 double batches of banana bread. I spent about 3.5 hours in the kitchen, including a walking trip to Trader Joe&#8217;s because I ran out of eggs. I got some steps in, but used up a lot of sewing time on this &#8216;project.&#8217;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25888\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25888\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141117_100440-sm2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25888\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141117_100440-sm2-300x208.jpg\" alt=\"Design Wall November 17, 2014\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141117_100440-sm2-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/20141117_100440-sm2.jpg 909w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25888\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design Wall November 17, 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Thus, the design wall looks pretty similar to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/11\/design-wall-monday-3\/\" target=\"_blank\">last week&#8217;s version<\/a>. I have high hopes that the end is nearing on a few projects, but time will tell, especially with holidays coming up.<\/p>\n<p>1. More of the red 2&#8243; squares for my 4 patches. I really need to cut some 2&#8243; turquoise squares. I just can&#8217;t seem to get to it.<\/p>\n<p>2. Black &amp; Grey Teenaged Boy Donation Quilt blocks. I finally finished that last block that had been languishing, for, what seemed like, weeks. Next step is to layout all the blocks and look at them. I need to decide whether to sew them together with sashing or not. I hear red fabrics crying out for my attention when I think about this quilt.<\/p>\n<p>3. Pieces and part of the PIQF Cross blocks. I have the other background parts cut as well; they are just somewhere else waiting for me to have a moment to decide on the fabric for the on point squares.<\/p>\n<p>4. Start of a donation block for BAMQG. Made with leaders and enders technique yesterday as I sewed another side of a Russian Rubix border together.<\/p>\n<p>5. My PIQF Cross blocks, some only partially sewn.<\/p>\n<p>5.5 This is the PIQF Cross block that TFQ made. Somehow it got separated from its friends, though, perhaps, it volunteered to play referee between the red 2&#8243; patches from and the Teenaged Boy Donation Quilt. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>6. Russian Rubix Octagons. I am still making a few blocks for the border. I am not sure if I will use these in the Russian Rubix quilt or if they will be part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/DSCN2934sm.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Snowball\/9 Patch quilt<\/a> I have in mind. If I do that piece it will be the third quilt I make from that collection of fabrics. It is interesting to do that. Perhaps I can consider it a series?<\/p>\n<p>7. Most recent FOTY rectangles. These are the last of the fabrics that TFQ pressed for me. I need to toss another load of new fabric into the wash and continue on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patchworktimes.com\/2014\/11\/17\/design-wall-november-17-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\">linking up<\/a> with Judy over at the Patchwork Times.
