#quiltprog back to it featuring my tie dye drying rack holding a bunch of post-ironing strips. this may become my work-appropriate pride desk quilt since I think DO WHATEVER BE WHOEVER is a little much for the office

#quiltprog quilting part DONE, now I just have to trim it up and edge it. getting steadily better at successfully creating an object that is Flat. perhaps the next one will be successful in that regard.
