This will likely be a busy summer with several guild meetings and quilt classes, relatives visiting, kids home from university, travel and yardwork! Lots to do, and lots more I want to do!!! Once again, I'm setting 2 quilty goals for this month: Ring Around the Hexies - Collaboration Celebration & a Wounded Warrior Quilt.

| Ring Around the Hexies (A Collaboration Celebration by Mickey Dupre & Bonnie Hunter) |
A couple of weeks ago, I shared the center portion of Ring Around the Hexies with you. This will be the background for the pieced hexies I will make during my class with Mickey Dupre this week. I can't wait! I'm thinking that I may want to make it even bigger, so I was thinking that I might add a huge 4-patch border all the way around. What do you think???
I have a starting point of 6 blocks for the next wounded warrior quilt. They are a collection of blocks from my Pedal Pushers quilt group (formerly just "ladies who lunch" and talk about quilting, now we're even sewing together monthly!!!). I really don't have any ideas for them at this point. It's sorta fun...we just kinda keep a collection of blocks going each month and pass them along. Once we have enough to make a lap quilt, and someone gets inspired (or sometimes just talked into it) shes creates a top and I quilt it up...when that quilt is done, the leftover blocks move on to the next person and we start over. This month, it's my turn! Not inspired yet, but something will come up...I also have a couple (or 4) UGLY panels that I was asked to turn into (a) wounded warrior quilt/quilts. Hoping for some inspiration....
Actually, I'm really going to be working to get several more projects closer to finishing as well. I've got 4 quilty workshops/classes I'll be attending this month: Pieced Hexies (working on Ring Around the Hexies/Collaboration Celebration), Nickel Quilts (working on Pinwheel & Labor Day Madness), Road to St. Louis (new) & wool applique (working on Buttermilk Basin BOM & maybe a new project). I also am hoping to catch up with my 2 spool quilts blocks (I'm behind by one month). If I have any free time after/between all of that, I'll try to sneak in a bit of work on the setting blocks & borders for the Women of the Bible BOM. No goals for any of these, but maybe I can sneak in a bit of progress on a few of them over the next few months!
