Design Wall Monday

Happy Monday! 

December is winding down fast. It is hard to believe it will be  New Years Eve tomorrow and we will start a new decade on Wednesday. On my design wall this week is the finished half square triangles for BH Mystery, and finished block for Ella Marie Deacon Quilt.



Up next are more 6 more blocks for the EMD Quilt while waiting for Bonnie to release the next clue.
Happy Sewing!
