Block three (which was really just half a block), is done, which means I’m done with the entire center column of the design. It’s fun to see some of the repeats starting to come through.

(And this damn new block editor is not letting me format this entry like I want, and the spacing looks terrible, but I’ve run out of spoons to want to fix
Panel two of the William Morris design is done. I’m still going way faster than I initially thought I’d be doing, but it is something a little different, so I’ve been enjoying that.
