And in #Quilting land, I've washed and ironed my extra fabrics, and might now have to attempt truing up the fabrics and then cutting out an amount of the extra bits I needed. I sure hope I marked down how much I needed somewhere because I can't remember!
Might also have to do only some at first and see how much I actually want to use, but... Certainly there's more fabric now and I could probably get to it.

'Alcorn State professor says of her work on a Fannie Lou Hamer quilt: "As you engage with the art, the art engages with you. When it's talking to you, you have to listen or you'll never be able to finish anything. I'm serious about that."'

Me: Hrm. Missing slide plate on this 66. Bet I can 3D model and print one of those.

*1 hr later*

Me: Oooooh. It could use a needle plate, too, and I bet I can make one that's similar to the base on that 15.

*1 hr later*
