This half-hexagon has been in the works for a couple of years. I am now committed to finishing by June 11th or it will cost me $10 at the Caledonia Guild. The original plan was for it to be a King Size quilt, but the last time I laid it out... I dunno. It might be substantially smaller. I double and triple checked my math and it should measure out the way I planned, but based on what is left to sew it just doesn't
This is the Three Dudes quilt I'm working on at the Scrappy Club. It should have been started late February, but I hurt my back and couldn't make myself go to the club. Couldn't pick up my sewing machine, actually. Which makes it pretty hard to go to a sewing event. So, it got started March 24th. To be continued April 28th.
The Batik Cats were collected a looong time ago. This is on my UFO challenge with Margaret and Nancy. I have until the end of April to get this top together. The sashing is all cut so this should sew up pretty quickly.
And, now for the DWR that I started at retreat. Ha ha ha ha ha hahahahah.... This will be going on for a long, long time.

ReplyDeleteI like those projects you are working on. I'm especially partial to the batik cats.
ReplyDeleteI think we all suffer from Quilting ADD :) I've never seen a pattern that shouldn't be made or fabric that shouldn't be used...right now!...no matter what else I'm doing.
Your DWR is going to be lovely! Have fun at MQX--you'll probably get so many new ideas that you'll be even further behind! Maybe men in the bar might be a good idea :-).
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to finish a quilt that we aren't in love with. Good luck meeting your deadlines.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the boring half-hexie....pay the $10 and to heck with finishing it! You tried it and didn't like it. I recently ran across an unfinished twin-bed sized PINK scrappy Friendship Star flimsy in my UFOs. It had to be at least fifteen years old. PINK??? What WAS I thinking?? I'm not a "Pink" kind of person. So I cut it into two parts, added a row to the smaller portion and made two Project Linus blankets that a couple of little girls will be thrilled to receive. Moral of the story? The half-hexies will tell you what they want to be in their own good time. Quilting is supposed to be fun, not drudgery.
