I have avoided working on boho heart until the last minute. It seems complicated to me. But, I finally sat down and sewed a section together, and it has encouraged me to continue. This is the top left part of the heart.
I have the blocks ready to go for the next "row" under this piece.

| just a few more easy breezy blocks |

My 5 quilts progress report.
I am happy for a new week and a new start on my quilts.
4. fish school - this is a year long project for the quiltville leader/ender challenge. After a big push of cutting, I have started putting a few blocks together.
I used a random number generator , and this is the project that came up for my empty 5th spot.
5. kaleidoscope paper pieced - I found this at a guild rummage sale a few years ago. Usually, I don't like paper piecing. But it looked simple enough. I pulled it out and sorted through it. There were 6 blocks finished and enough paper patterns for a nice quilt. I left it out for a bit as I made my decisions. I would walk by it and think. I decided I am keeping the finished blocks, but I am passing the project on to guild. Maybe someone will want to do it. I just found the quickest way to "finish" an old ufo.

I am doing a bit of catch up on my rainbow projects for rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. I had an idea to make a few words. This may be one of those squirrel projects. We will see.

I can't believe it is December already and time to choose a new one monthly goal at elm street quilts. I dug out my wonky courthouse steps to assess what I needed to do. I have decided not to add borders, so, I need a back, binding, and quilting done for this fun quilt. I think I made 3 of these quilts and this one is larger at 85x 90. I made all 3 of these quilts on my singer treadle.

I knew I needed to cut more qsts for another Clarissa quilt block. I like making them, but, they take a bit of time. Each hourglass is 2 1/2 unfinished. There are 36 hourglasses = 144 pieces. I do a little a time.

2. fish school - this is a year long project for the quiltville leader/ender challenge.
5.full stop quilt that Angela is doing for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy.- I made the periods this week, but, I didn't join them until I know how I want to make them in the quilt. I am missing one of the months, but, I couldn't find it at so scrappy, yet. And, I just had an idea of how to make this simple quilt more complicated....sigh
