That is a great question! I did not work on my May OMG at all, other than purchasing the backing fabric for it. Technically I guess that is progress.
Instead, I got a little bit of startitis. I started an EPP project - well things are cut and I am still debating if I will glue baste or thread baste them. I did one as thread baste and it was sliding on me so I need to rewatch a video and give it another try.
I also started a crochet project of granny squares using some leftover yarns from another project. If I count across the top I have 7 'openings' which is how big I am making them. I really should count the rounds but it is easier to just count the spaces across to see when I am done for now.
Another project is the Masala baby quilt in purples. I really need to knock off those final blocks and get this to a top soon. I hope to bring it with me to VT later in June.
Hand quilting on the Endless Diamond quilt is progressing. I have started quilting block 9 of 20 so getting close to half way. It appears all animals like to pose on quilts! As soon as I put it down for a photo, Bear came out to investigate and snuggled down on it.
I'd better get back to work as my lunch is almost over! Leftover steak on a garden salad, yum!

for the thread basting use either a pin in the center of the paper to hold it in place or use a binding clip on one corner - I use the binding clip and it works out great - what shapes are you planning?
May is a busy month for kids and families! I was going to say the same thing about thread-basting the hexies as Karen wrote in her comment. I use a wonder clip or two to hold things together while I'm basting and it keeps it from slipping. Those purple Masala Boxes are really pretty! Perfect for that baby quilt.
I use freezer paper for the hexagon papers, so there is no slipping around.
Masala baby quilt is so pretty with the lavender fabrics...
nice work hugs, Julierose
