Happiness in a Box

I have one more box block to finish, but the 12 finished ones are quite happy.
I finished (gasp) my last large hexagon star.  I know I have been slowly working on this since 2018 (or perhaps earlier).  The main pieces are done, so in June I’ll settle on a layout and begin assembling the rows.  Once the main part is done, I will puzzle out the partial stars and rosettes to fill in the edges.  It feels so strange to empty the bag I’ve used for ages to carry my hexagon supplies in my purse.  The next carry-along project will be some wool mug ornaments that I have thought would make lovely gifts for nieces and nephews.
Today I’m off to a Japanese culture and anime conference with my two oldest girls!

Pretty orange blocks and hexagons. Yes, it feels strange when a box is empty, just like 'what am I doing next'? :)

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
