I feel like Flo! She calls herself a butterfly quilter because she flits from one project to another. However, I have noticed that she really finishes a lot of projects!!
But this week, I seem to have several different projects on the go. I noticed this when i looked at my design wall:
On the far left is the 1930's baby quilt, using 6 inch blocks,
In the center is the long table runner using a dark grey back ground,
and on the right is my latest start-- Some dresden string circles. I came upon the StringThingALong blog, here, and had to immediately start a new project! So yes, these are from random scraps of varying widths. I throw them into a box as they are generated. These ones had a lot of 1930's scraps, since I did quite a few projects with those fabrics in the past few months.
I continue to chip away at the final squares for the baby quilt,
and I've handquilted an outline around the 3 bottom ladies on the bonnet girls quilt. This photo shows the machine quilting that I did on it first. I totally disregarded the borders and went from one edge to the other with the straight lines. I used a pale gray 30weight rayon, which I quite like!
Hope that you have a happy day, whatever you decide to do!
