Paper piecing – I enjoy it but at times can wear me out. I just completed a paper pieced border for a wall quilt and wanted to sit and mindlessly sew. The first of the year I cut out several charity quilts so I pulled one out and sewed away! It was all pieced in just a few hours – how fun! It really needed something else, though. The fabric is a bit wild – all generously donated. There is one print among the batiks that is a lizard fabric. Ta Da! I’ll applique a few large lizards! Even better, I used my Scan n’ Cut – what a treat to have precise cutting done in just moments.
All in all, January was a very good sewing month, especially considering I was on vacation for a whole week. I revamped my Work in Progress listing. Yes, I do have more projects, but have not touched some in such a long time I eliminated them from the list for now. I have promised myself to only add charity quilts and gift quilts – there is a wedding gift quilt added to the list. Oh how I want to stay on task and shorten the list. Can I do it? Yes! Will I do it? We’ll see!! Do you have so many projects started it seems overwhelming? Do you have an action plan? I’d love to know how other quilters deal with this.
Today I’m linking up with Esther Aliu’s Blog, Let’s Bee Social, My Quilt Infatuation.
beautiful Batik!
Thank you! It’s displayed on the back of my living room sofa so I can look at it often!
Love those fun fabrics! Hey, I also love your table of progress! May I borrow it? Of course, I’d link right back to you! I’m pinning it to my Next Board! Thank you for sharing!
Borrow away! Hope it helps you as much as it has me.
