What is on the Design Wall in July?

July is just flying by.  I have two more quilt layouts that will be needing my design wall, so I have been hustling to finally get this pentagon project off the wall and to my long-arm quilter.  Initially, I thought I would just quilt it on my domestic machine, but what they hey!  I needed some more of that solid pink, and I was certain that I got it at Virginia's.  So, I was needing to go out there anyway.

These are the blocks from the 2024-2025 group challenge with the Piecemakers of Idaho.  I passed out a small pentagon with instructions to add strips of fabric going around the pentagon, in the colors that are present in the small pentagon.  I said it was the "focus fabric".  So, twelve people turned their blocks back in, and I had decided I would accept whatever they did and make the quilt top.  Twelve blocks were made by other people, in my quilt group, the rest were made by me.  The focus fabric was just a fat quarter, so I ran out of the central fabric and had to punt with the last three blocks.  I made it work since it is a free-for-all already.  I think "free-for-all" is a good name for this quilt.

I whipped up a couple of borders and got the back made and off to Virginia's!
