It’s still hot, but I couldn’t stand it any longer; I just had<\/i> to do something about my Winding Ways quilt. So today I laid out all of the blocks, trying — not always successfully — to keep the same fabric from being in any two adjacent blocks.

I don’t have a design wall worth mentioning; it’s just a tiny piece of flannel hung up over a closet door. I have to move it every time I want to access the closet where I store my supplies.
