The long term goal is to sash the blocks and put the top together. In the meantime, due to some seam allowance issues, some of the blocks are smaller than others, so I will have to adjust them in some way \u2013 either ripping and resewing, adding a piece or two to the block, or with sashing. This is my sticking point. I need to finish measuring all of the blocks before I can move on that is just a tedious task. Once I know what I am facing for each block, I can probably move forward. I am not looking forward to it, thus no new progress.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/fabric-of-the-year-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FOTY 2017<\/a> \u2013 pieces cut.

I found one block recently, but otherwise I actually don\u2019t know exactly where the blocks are hiding.

I have a new idea for it, which is to make a pillow and gift it to a friend.<\/li>\n<li>Black and Red quilt \u2013 This came about because of two other projects. I made a whole bunch of bias tape as part of my failed attempt at doing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/mighty-lucky-january-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mighty Lucky Club<\/a> a few years ago. Another part of the inspiration came from my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/improv-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">class<\/a> with Tina of Little Blue Cottage fame. This was going to be for a nephew, but I think it will be for one of my SILs and BILs. I have rectangles cut and some bias tape ready. My next step is to sew the bias tape to the rectangles like pickup sticks. I don\u2019t have any photos of this, so you\u2019ll have to trust me.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Small Projects in Process<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Most of my progress involves thinking or just cutting.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All Rolled Up Tote &#8211; part of <a href=\"https:\/\/craftygeminiclubs.com\/product\/2018-organizer-club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crafty Gemini Organizer Club<\/a>, so on my list, but I haven&#8217;t actually started<\/li>\n<li>White on black dots cell phone wallet<\/li>\n<li>Solid black cell phone wallet<\/li>\n<li>Chubby Charmer with Good Fortune charm pack &#8211; gift<\/li>\n<li>4-Zip Organizer &#8211; part of Crafty Gemini Organizer Club, so on my list, but I haven&#8217;t actually started<\/li>\n<li>Tool Tote \u2013 I bought the pattern at QuiltCon and started cutting it out at Sew Day in March.
