Today is the final day of June
which means we are now six months into
our 18 in 2018 year.
So instead of a monthly recap,
I'm sharing a six-month recap for the record.
I created three lists -
one for piecing projects,
one for quilting/finishing projects,
and one for comfort quilt projects.
Here we go . . .
First up is the Piecing List.
I've managed to complete TEN
of the projects on my initial list.
