The narrow band of pink sounds great! I think your fix will be even better than the original plan too!

Oh wow what a wonderful save.
I worked from home for years in our dining room. My wife was quite quiet when she was home. But, she had a tendency to blast home into the kitchen talking at top volume. Just couldn’t wait to tell me something.
Luckily I often was muted and listening in meetings and not presenting.
Retired now…and now like interuptions.

Finally finished the top yesterday. I think it’s 51” or 52” square. Now I have to quilt both kid quilts by next weekend!

So many pretty stars, @MistressJennie and @skrutt!
I just finished the economy blocks for the fourth, and final, I-Spy quilt. Now I get to trim them all to size. Not my favorite part.

I need to have both of those kid quilts I’ve been working on, ready to give away on the 7th. I was starting to get worried that I might not make it on time. But on Saturday I got the Safari one quilted, and yesterday I got it bound. Then today I managed to piece the backing, sandwich, and quilt the Farm Star one! All that’s left is binding. And maybe machine embroidering labels for them.
I’m on a roll!!!

Don’t forget, everyone has until the 7th to submit the August prompt (squares) and BOM.
September Prompt:
Circles
For the shape prompts, the monthly shape needs to be highlighted. This can be done in a variety of ways. For example, if the shape is a square, you could make a square patchwork quilt. You could quilt a pattern that features squares. You could create a quilt block using square patterned fabric. Whatever you do, just have fun and make the monthly shape shine!
September BOM:
Connemara - nominated by @skrutt
Paper pieced version

My August shape challenge block: squares. I didn’t have enough fabric or mental organization to make the Love in a Mist, but started fiddling with what I did have. Sewed 2 strip sets, cut off the uneven ends, cut strips in half, wondered what to put in the middle and a fellow quilter suggested making a 4 patch with my end bits. And voila! Quilt block. With squares. And now everyone is asking me what the pattern is. I’m sure it exists, but I made it up as I went.
Hope this works for squares. And now it sounds like I need to A: write up the pattern and B: make at least 8 more
