With the beginning of June, it's time for a new goal list. The first item on the list is another UFO project - the Moda Blockheads 6 project from 2025.
The blocks have all been done, but I wasn't happy with my fabric choices for that center block. The center medallion block is 27" square and needs to make a statement, but as you can see from my original layout it doesn't look like it fits with the other blocks.
This is what it originally looked like. That beige print was not a good choice as the pinwheel gets lost in there. The block needed something more bold to fit in with all the rest of the blocks in the series.
So, I spent maybe a half hour picking out the seams around those beige sections. A good seam ripper is worth it.
The beige pieces are now replaced with a bold flag print and I like it much better. Now I can begin assembling the top this week.
I did a LOT of cutting on Saturday afternoon, some with patriotic prints and some with pastels for June's RSC blocks. These will give me plenty of Leaders/Enders to use in between things this week.
The rest of the June goals are typical . . . so I'm skipping most of the details.
** Try NOT to acquire a lot of new fabric
** keep up with Saturday Sampler
** make new blocks for Sew Vintage (Pizza Box Challenge)
** RSC blocks in the June colors (pastels)
** bind a UFO (Shadow Stars QOV)
** finish the guild DIY Round Robin wall hanging
** take a couple of small things to long arm quilter
** assemble flimsy for Salt Water Taffy quilt
