I have too many projects going... and I'm itching to start something new. I'm going to try to wait, though it is hard :) Plugging right along on the Farmer's Wife Quilt (28 blocks done of 111), only 2 more rows of hand quilted baptist fans to go on the half-square-triangle quilt (binding already made), and the master bedroom quilt is at a stand still. I've quilted 7 or 8 straight lines and not sure that I like it. May take them out and hand quilt. I need to decide soon since it got down in the mid 30's last night! The problem is maneuvering the quilt through the Singer. It is a P.I.A. but not enough so to purchase a big machine... I'm happy with my old singers. One of these days I'll just get a large quilting frame and be done with trying to machine quilt.
I have a few sets of fat quarters from some beautiful fabric lines waiting. These are my plans for them at the moment, though I may change my mind by the time I finally get to to the cutting stage:
1. Butterscotch & Roses fat quarter bundle by Fig Tree - destined to be a Swoon quilt - I've already picked the fabrics from the bundle I'll use:
2. Flora fat quarter bundle by Lauren and Jessi Jung - destined to be a Dresden plate quilt:
3. LouLouthi by Anna Marie Horner - destined to be a quilt, but can't decide which one. I first thought a Swoon quilt after a saw one made with this fabric but couldn't readily decide which fabrics from the line to use. Now I'm trying to decide between these - Spinning Stars Quilt (by the same designer) or one very much like it by Patricia Bravo called Bohemian Caravan. Either way, I have plenty of fabric for front AND back since I bought extra of a couple of the prints.
I can dream big... that's a lot of quilting! May take me years...
