I thought I was the only...Omigosh you're busy! I thought I was the only person torn between a million different projects buzzing around in my head that I'm dying to make, not sure where to begin! I, too, am a sucker for circles in quilts, and that diamond ring pattern looks REALLY cool. <br /><br />Here's what I'm juggling in the sewing room these days: Most urgently, I foolishly told people I could whip up a lederhosen costume for Augustus Gloop to wear in our school's Willy Wonka Jr. production, despite having no pattern and ZERO experience successfully sewing any clothing of any kind. I drafted a muslin pattern over the weekend and had the little boy try them on yesterday -- the legs flared out ridiculously like bell-bottom shorts, and the waist was so tiny that he couldn't close the top of the shorts at all. So I'll be making some major alterations, but I have to cut into the real microsuede fabric today or I'll never have the costume ready by the first dress rehearsal next week!<br /><br />I also got halfway through a Free Motion Quilting Challenge last year and want to finish the rest of those practice exercises before the end of the school year. I have 5 of them left. And I made one block for an Advent table runner in December that is now languishing because I don't know what the rest of it should look like. And I started in on a Block of the Month Christmas quilt project yesterday that I'm already 3 months behind on, because it's got half pieced blocks and half needle turn applique and I've always wanted to learn how to do that. And I also want to jump into a vintage quilt block BOM that I'm 6 months behind on already, but I haven't figured out whether I want all of those different blocks to go into the same project (and if so, what color and fabric scheme I want to commit to) or whether I should just do each block as a learning exercise, all in different colors and fabrics, and figure out what to do with them later?<br /><br />Oh yeah, and I bought all the fabrics for a Storm At Sea quilt over a year ago, and am planning to start on that this year, too. I think those are all of the projects I've mentally overcommitted myself to at the moment. I also have a HUGE binder full of projects and inspirations I've pulled out of magazines over the last 10 years since I started quilting. If I live to be 110, I will never finish even a quarter of the projects buzzing around inside my head!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-27694566966575952382013-04-07T02:26:47.437+01:002013-04-07T02:26:47.437+01:00Oh would so love that diamond ring...hmmm.
