In times past, I thought I was fairly organized, at least as far as my quilting was involved. I rarely began another quilt until I finished the last one. All that has changed! Now I find myself looking at the patriotic quilts, thinking I need to talk to my quilter and get those going. (In fact, I did talk to one, and she is no longer quilting for the public because of a family illness, so I'll need to contact the other one.) Then I look at the Stack and Whack, and wonder, "Could I quilt that one myself, maybe?" Then I look at that fabric I bought last week for that next Christmas project --- the one with the bells to applique from that slicky gold fabric! Oh well, this is just February 1; I have 27 more days to finish that project this month! *wink*
What did I do next?......I started cutting an entirely different quilt, basically from my stash! A pink and blue Kaleidoscope from the September 2000 Quilt World magazine; that's how long I've wanted to make this quilt! I've cut triangles from about 20 different fabrics, but ALL pink and blue! I have a specific reason in mind, which maybe I'll share later. No, it has nothing to do with a baby at all! (I just happen to love pink and blue, you should know by now!) Squint your eyes, and scroll down slowly and look for blue circles. I think they will appear better when it is actually sewn together. Looking at them on the bed rather than the design wall also distorts the picture.

This block is amazing and I always enjoy resolving the circles. Let your hair down and quilt/sew as you please. Life's too short! Happy Stitching, Ann :-)
ReplyDeleteOhhh how I love a kaleidoscope quilt!! This is really really stunning Love! I can't wait to see more :) Christine
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're really turning into a quilter - starting more projects before the first one is done! Your kaleidoscope blocks are coming along and I can see the big blue circles, though I did have to squint a little.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Love, join the quiting community! I think those projects are called UFO's. Just be thankful you don't have to hide them in a closet - yet. I like the pink and blue and I can see the blue circles. If you rearranged the blocks you could see pink circles. The quilt is going to be lovely.
ReplyDeleteI see the blue circles. I love quilts like this, that have a pattern "hidden" in plain sight. Once your eye picks it up, you can't miss it. The next time you come back to it, your eye picks a diffrent pattern and you can't miss it either! The colours are lovely, a nice cozy muted palette.
ReplyDeleteI too used to work on only one project at a time...but I've fallen off that wagon completely the last year. I've now imposed a moratorium on anything new until I finish up a couple of large WIPs. -Joanne
It is looking lovely, Love! I see the blue circles, and love the softness of the fabrics you've chosen. It will make a very sweet, romantic quilt. My motto is becoming "why finish up something when there is so much more to explore?!" Enjoy the play days!
ReplyDeleteI to work just on one pattern at a time but thinking of what I will do next. Really like blue and pink quilt, Just have fun with it and quilts it, you can do it. HAPPY QUILTING!
ReplyDeleteIt's always the way, so many projects to finish but what do we do? Start a new one of course!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE kaleidoscope quilts! The interlocking circles work beautifully.
I usually have 2-3 projects going at the same time. Guess I have quilter ADHD! LOL! I think your quilt is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if being organised is a trait of a quilter... just when I think I am organised, something happens, and I realize how much I am not!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks great, even at this stage!

It's okay to have a bunch of things going...it keeps the mind awake;) Like what you are doing with the kalidescope. I made one years ago with browns and oranges. Have no idea where it went, or if I even really finished it;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting!!
It looks snuggly and comfortable already! Looks like you are buzzing right along if you just started it last Friday. I decided a long time ago that you're not really a quilter until there are several projects going at the same time...if that weren't true, we'd never have a reason to buy all these books and magazines, right?

ReplyDeleteLove, the quilt is looking great. I can see the blue circles. The colors are so nice and soft. Long ago I used to only have one project going but I always have many projects in various stages at any given time. I am trying to get some of them done this year, but I am easily tempted to start something else. Can't wait to see your progress on this quilt.
