I've also been busy piecing. I finished Bonnie's Grand Illusion top on Friday. I worked hard to keep up with each clue, and the quilt came together quickly in the end. I wasn't sure I liked it at first because it seemed so busy and it is definitely out of my comfort zone. Actually, its growing on me. I think it will be a cheerful addition to the guest room come springtime. 
I belong to the Jo Morton Yahoo group and the gals have come up with a great WIP plan for the year. We were to list 12 projects that we want to either finish or move further along. At the beginning of each month, a number is chosen and we are to work on the project on our list that corresponds that number. There are very few rules: You can finish, make progress or switch to another project. This month I finished a Thimbleberries top that was about 1/3 complete. I finished cutting and sewing the blocks and then sewed them to the 1/3 I already had. This was an OLD project (2001). Apparently I'm a much more accurate piecer now, because my new blocks were bigger than my old ones. I just sort of eased them in. I
Your Grand Illusion is lovely and good for you for tackling your UFOs.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of people are facing their UFO. It is a good feeling to finish something. I agree sometimes just spending an hour a day at something really helps to get it done.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects. You have been busy!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pink scrappy quilt. I should allocate a bit of time for needlework per day as it is amazing how it adds up.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the mystery! it is a busy quilt design but lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your hand quilting!
I have a friend who suggested I really think through my sewing room and get rid of any furniture/storage that didn't work. Setting up a workspace that is orderly and efficient made a HUGE difference for me. I'm going back to finish pieces because my area is ready for me to work!
ReplyDelete...also, LOVE the Thimbleberries quilt :-)
