Design Wall Monday

I've been a tad busier than my design wall shows.  The problem is I had a lot of meetings this week and although two of them were sewing related, sewing outside my home actually slowed down my progress as we were having too much fun.  I also decided to become a line dance instructor this week, replacing someone who decided to go back to school.  So, I'm a little nervous about officially having everyone looking to me for inspiration though I have been assisting various instructors for a while.

Here is my design wall as it currently stands.  Piecing DWR quilt is time consuming.  These are the same pieces I had on the all last Monday but the arcs are now sewn.  I think two of the melons are pieces.  This will be a WIP.  I'm leaving it up on the wall until it's done otherwise the pieces may never come out of storage.

On the bottom of the wall are the Quiltmaker's 100 blocks 37-40.  I'm a little behind on them and hope to get caught up this week.


I sewed three borders to the Bloomin' Flowers quilt this week.  I'm sad now that I can't quilt it yet as I have three tops that I have to get done ASAP.  This has to be my favorite quilt I've made in a while.  I put of spring decorations today and so wished it was completed so I could display it.  Maybe if I worked on DWR quilt above I could hang it on the design wall to pretty up my room.  Geese, anybody want to work in my sweat shop?

I worked on partial borders on a couple of other quilts but will show them when they are completed.
