What a lot of lovely projects! I'm always on the lookout for inspiring quilting designs, so I was drawn to yours on the falling triangles quilt.

Your Green Latern quilt is so pretty! And I love the idea of a sewing station and a cutting station in another room. I once did all of my ironing in the basement. That was a lot of fun exercise when sewing. Sending some cool hugs your way!
