I have a lot of projects in boxes and for once I'm at a loss which one to work on today. Over the weekend I finished the Christmas tree row for the row robin and finished a baby quilt top for Bags of Love. For the latter, I had a panel and simply added 12" quilt blocks to the top and bottom to end up with a quilt that's 36" x 50". I'm out of batting, so I'll give it back to the group to have someone else quilt it and add the binding I made for it. I hate using panels as they are never square and always odd sizes. I had to cut the outer printed border off of most of the panel in order to make it a size that worked. That's all too frustrating to do ever again! :-)
Today, I have my choice of the following:
1. a sampler of raffle blocks over the years in the Green Mountain Quilters Guild - I have enough for a quilt yet?
2. a quilt made of selvages - not started, but materials are gathered
3. playing around with a new Sue Pelland ruler and fusible applique technique - maybe bright orange peels on black and white backgrounds? Do I really want to start something new?
4. flowering snowball blocks - I have several cut out and ready to sew
5. phone charger caddies - I have several cut out and ready to sew for holiday gifts
6. tote bags - I have fabric and patterns all set aside to make bags for holiday gifts
7. a miscellaneous project box that ought to be sorted through and, perhaps, discarded or maybe turned into tote bags.
8. Daylesford (a Jen Kingwell design) which is sitting on my design wall, waiting for inspiration for the next round.
9. a batch of charm squares, layer cakes, and other precuts that my neighbor Carol gave me before she moved away, Maybe I'll use those for the tote bags? Some are just not my taste but might look good together.
10. a batch of orphan blocks won in a raffle at the state quilt guild meeting.
Stay tuned!
