Design Wall Monday - September 16

And here we are . . . another Monday rolling around.  It's that interesting time of year in this part of the country when we have a touch of summer and a touch of fall.  The days are still warm (or hot) and the evenings are almost chilly.  The trees are beginning to show some hints of fall colors to come, and that makes me itching to pull out the fall fabrics to sew.

Do you ever wonder about the idea of coincidence?  A week or so ago I ordered a kit for an autumn themed table runner, and the ruler that would make it easier - a large 60 degree diamond ruler.  The kit and ruler arrived in the mail on Thursday.  And on Friday one of my daughters texted me about making a Native American star quilt for her husband for his next birthday (June 2025).  That new ruler will really come in handy for that project.  Is that a coincidence?  It was obviously meant to be. 

I have a basic pattern for the star quilt already, but I think we'll have fun planning the colors and shopping together for the fabrics to make that special quilt.  So - it's not on my Design Wall right now, but it's going to be in the planning stages.  

What is actually on my design wall this week?  The store sample project is the priority project this week.  It's a mystery quilt for an upcoming shop hop, so I can't show you exactly what I'm making yet.  But let's just say there has been some progress.  Five of the 9 main blocks are finished, with the other 4 started.  Once those blocks are done, then I'll be tackling the pieced border, which may take some concentration to keep organized.

One other thing on my design wall this week - the new Saturday Sampler blocks for September.  We're making 8 colorful Churn Dash blocks.  I'm hoping to get them at least cut out by the end of the week.   

I'm linking up with Design Wall Monday . . .
