The AAUW finance files have been transferred to me. Two of the boxes are records from prior years and two boxes are supplies, in addition to a laptop and printer. I'm grateful that the previous finance director had everything in good order. Next task is to set up so I can easily stay on top of things!
The
Progressive Swap is complete. Lori A. asked for 9" blocks, each with "something" in the center, and sent a tan-with-swirl fabric to be used in each block. Since I'm the last person for this round there wasn't much tan fabric left. I turned to Marsha McCloskey's
Block Party with 120 9" block patterns. (I made these: Turkey Tracks, King's Crown, Peaceful Hours, and Prairie Queen).

And here are my Progressive Swap blocks!
I sent red/white and green/white hourglass blocks as "seeds" for larger blocks.
I put 'em all up on the design wall......
and here's a very rough draft. I think I will use light blue to sash/set/frame the blocks. I will need to rework the corners. As I consider these design decisions, I think I will name it "Good Cheer," as in "Christmas comes but once a year and when it does it brings...."
Thanks to my four companions in the Progressive Swap -- Lori A., Cassandra, Lori K., and Teresa!
I'm linking up with other quiltmakers at
Judy's Patchwork Times.
