Some months are much more productive than others. My plan this summer has been loosely formed around moving projects to the next stage - whatever that might be. Well, I got several sets of blocks moved to the "flimsy" stage, and did a lot of binding for finished projects. Some were big, some were small. Now as the calendar page turns to August, the plan is staying the same. Move projects forward, and have some fun with them.
The UFO Challenge number for August is #12. One of the 3 projects on my spreadsheet for that number is already completely done and marked off the list. Check!! The middle item is a complicated applique project, and it's going to just stay on the UFO list for now because I just don't feel like working on it. And I'm OK with that. But the last item on the list is already a flimsy, so it's one that should be easy to move forward - which means quilting, then binding.
This Quick Strippee quilt is child sized. The binding is already cut and ready to go. I think I even have some backing for this one already.
While I'm thinking ahead about choosing some fun projects to play with this month, the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color will be YELLOW. Hmmm - what yellow things are hiding out in my sewing room just waiting for some attention?
And - what is on YOUR design wall this final Monday in July?

Hi Sara. I love making those strippie quilts, so fast and fun, happy fabrics and lots of machine quilting playground areas. No kids here, so the child fabrics are a joy to work with and the quilts are a joy to give.
Excellent progress even with a trip thrown into the mix!
You had a great month and wow you got a lot done!
