don't have a photo to post bc I forgot to take one before I put my quilting box away for the night BUT after almost a month of making very minimal progress I am once again working on the d20 baby quilt! my friend found out this week that baby viper is gonna be a boy which gives me the next color of fabric I need to buy for the outside of the quilt (background will be a light grey), not that I'm even close to there yet, but it has given me the inspiration to work on it again

as a reminder this is the design I'm working on, it will all be hand-stitched paper pieced hexagons! (with handmade bais/applique tape for the dividing lines on the d20) and I have until October to finish it, which is great because I'm currently 41 hexagons in - out of 351

#baby viper quilt #crafting #so I'm going to momocon at the end of the month and i think my goal is to have all of the d20 pieced together by then #it's slightly ambitious considering I'm now working a full time job and my summer classes start next week #but really it's only like another 10 hours of work across 17 days #oh shit there's only 17 days till momocon oops #anyway the goal is to have the d20 together #and potentially the applique tape put on to really define it #and then i would like to have like ~100 of the background pieces pinned and cut to take with me #because its a surprisingly easy thing to baste these hexagons on the go #just chilling in the back of a panel or in the AMV room basting hexagons #when people ask what its for i can pull out the d20 center part and show it off #it's gonna be a great time #although this is the first momocon where i won't be bringing any new cosplays which makes me a little sad #at least im still crafting and i can bring this project with me #looking back at what I've planned in the tags though i do need to specify that the hexagons will be 10ish hours #no clue how long the bias/applique tape is going to take #historically cutting & pinning 63 hexagons at once took me almost two hours #so the cutting and pinning of 100ish hexagons is gonna be a few more hours #but i still think i can do it if i work diligently
