    My design wall is a pad hung over a projector screen. It's too floppy for things to stick, so I have to pin everything. Still works much better than what I did before - lay it all out on the bed.

    I was going to make it square, but I like this better - 50" x 65". I'm considering a border, but not sure if I want to deal with any more little pieces.
    A piano key border would enlarge it, different small pieces.

    Thanks Raggiemom. I didn't get very much done but got the label embroidered and also two names embroidered to make the cuff for Christmas stockings. Wouldn't have got even that done if not for VQW.

    I had been dragging before the VQW. I'm back in the groove now so it really helped. I may not have gotten the quilting finished but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't a train.

    So, I got a little done last night, and some done today on my LA challenge quilt. There are three blocks that repeat around a center block, with different colorways on each block.
    I had made the joke with my group that I was going to "dress up like Judi Madsen" since I started this on Halloween, and "maybe I'll be able to quilt like Judi".

    I'm over halfway done... so maybe with a little more time tonight, and some time tomorrow, this will be ready for my LA guild meeting next Saturday. I don't have a robot system, this is all done either FMQ or with rulers. I picked out the blocks from "501 Rotary Cut Blocks" by Judy Hopkins.
    My LA only has an 18" throat, so I had to roll it half-way through doing the center block. The finished quilt will be about 42" square.
    I ended up getting all done but the bottom row of blocks, which I hope & pray to finish before Saturday.
    Thanks for the VQW - this was my first, and I really enjoyed it!
