When I showed off my shibori quilts at Monday's VMQG meeting, I proudly announced that I had worked on exactly zero of my UFOs for the guild's UFO challenge. That's right: nada, none, zilch, zero! I'm also not likely to make any progress next month either, because the guild handed out fabrics for the MQG Michael Miller Pinwheel Petals challenge. Participants received fat eighths of these fun and lively fabrics:

I already have a definite plan in mind, and with any luck, I will report some progress for next week's WIP Wednesday.
In addition, I've also been avoiding UFOs by making kimono silk pouches for my Etsy shop. I had a special order for five small pouches with extra length, and I made two medium-sized pouches for my regular listings:
I want to make three additional pouches this weekend, before kicking work on the challenge quilt into high gear.
Thanks goodness it's spring. Happy sewing, everyone!
