I'm away from home again, in Adelaide to babysit while some end-of-school-year events take place.  I deliberately didn't bring any handwork, so that I would be forced to work on loading software onto my new laptop. It's not my favourite past-time, so many usernames and passwords to remember or retrieve.

Before I left home I reworked the measurements of my block so that I had more room at the edges to trim the block without losing my points. It's all much neater now, Im looking forward to kitting quite a few when I get back.

I do like the blocks with more than one fabric, I'll throw in a few of those. The plan was for 42 blocks, so there will be lots of fabric choices to make along the way.

I have 12 on the design wall now, and several kitted. I'm looking forward to using up some of my pink repros; I have a large collection of them and a lot of them are untouched FQs. It will be fun to finally cut into them.
