well, i'm trying to make some progress on some of my quilt ufos this week while i'm off. so far i've managed to 1.complete the top of my "Weekend Quilt", which has taken many, many weekends! i bought this pattern, i don't remember how many years ago, intending to use all irish, or st. patrick's fabrics. it sat in a bin for a few years, and i finally got it back out a few months ago and finally got all the strips sewn together. then it hung on the design wall until this week. i really wanted it off of there so i could finish something else, and i was tired of looking at it up there mocking me! so it's done. i'm not crazy about it, so i hung it up in the closet until i'm ready to look at it again.
2. the one i really wanted to finish was the log cabin "chicken" quilt. this one has chicken fabrics that i found a few years ago with a special relative in mind as soon as i saw the fabrics. good thing i never told that person i was making a quilt for them! this one went together really well, and i really like it a lot. it's just hanging in the dining room so i can admire it for now! i'll need to get it basted somehow. since i lost my sewing space i'm sewing in the dining room, and i don't have good space for basting quilts now. i'll figure something out, i guess.
3. right now i'm taking a break from quilting my "fall" quilt. this was from a "round robin" swap on Pat Sloan's group a few years ago. it was partially quilted, but set aside. maybe this fall i'll actually get to use it!
the actually quilting is what's driving me nuts today! i'm not good at making decisions on how to quilt . so i'll keep plugging along, and maybe i'll have some pictures to add later.
break's over, now back to work!
