What is on YOUR design wall this week? I'm linking up with Design Wall Monday at https://smallquiltsanddollquilts.blogspot.com/
My design wall is FULL of projects started and not finished - so, just like every week of every month! I always have multiple projects going at once. Sometimes that's a good thing and then periodically it overwhelms me. I'm on the verge of being overwhelmed right now I think.
Over the weekend, I sewed the Shooting Star blocks into pairs - one star block plus one alternate block. These are a Rainbow Scrap Challenge set of blocks this year, but there are not nearly enough yet for a good size quilt. So I'll continue making these, however, in the meantime, there is actually some progress. And they are easier to clip to the hanger in the closet now.

It's nice to have choices, but I get when you say it can get overwhelming. I only had 4 to dos on last week list and felt like I wasn't doing enough. I have more to dos than I want to put on the list this week. So I guess it balances out.
That looks like a fun pillowcase project - great boot print! I love the colorful Hunter's Star block, too. You've got a nice organized list of things to focus on in September - such a good idea!
As far as addictions go, I think a fabric addiction is one of the most enjoyable you can have. Love the Hunter Star four-sies!
I too have a lot of projects going on at once. Generally one starts as leader/ender and then finishes up as the main project. Your hunter stars look terrific. I like the brightness of them. Hum, I wonder if any of my fabric will work for cute pillowcases? Although truth be told most of my fabric isn't in 1 yard pieces. I like the fabric pull for the pillowcases. Your niece will love it along with the quilt.
You do have a lot going on, but you always seem to pull off a bunch of progress each week. At least you have a list written now and can check off one by one. I totally get the overwhelmed feeling!!!
The Hunters Star is ever so pretty I love the batik prints paired with the black:)
