I got an early start on my mental health treatments for the weekend by heading to my sewing room right after dinner. I wanted to finish off the orange Squared Away blocks as this is the last weekend in August.

My paler oranges aren't as bright as I usually go. I'm hoping these will look OK with all the other blocks.
Twinkle Stars is up on the design wall at the moment, so there's not really any place to lay out all the Squared Away blocks. I'll put them all up when Twinkle Stars comes down next month. I've been wondering about how I'm going to set all these, so I did a bit of mucking about in EQ8. This is my lead contender at the moment.

I definitely like the on point setting, though it will need two more blocks than the plan, but I'm OK picking a couple of blocks and making two more. I like the idea of a pastel for the sashing and the setting triangles. Not sure it will be teal, it depends on what's in the stash. At least I've got a good starting spot. I usually end up stalling on finding a setting and my RSC blocks end up hanging about in UFO-land for several years. I'm trying to not let that happen this year.
