Sew Day Recap July 2023

 

We worked on our 2024 QuiltCon Outreach Quilt and other projects.

We accomplished so much, completing almost 100 half-square triangle units!  

 

All trimmed up!

 

That's 94 HST's!

 

Even the trimmings of these fabrics are pretty!

Thanks to all who helped today, and to those making blocks at home!
