at the Red Barn Quilt Co. quilt. The pieces are all cut.
And I've assembled little stacks of six strips. And I've even started sewing a few of them together. This is a lot for me. I'm the type, good or bad, that seems to have too many projects going on at once. And even more floating around in my head.
While I know it would be better to just hunker down and do it. I feel overwhelmed and then procrastinate more. Because if I hunker down and do it I feel like I'm doing it just to complete it and that zaps the fun out of anything in a hurry.
Phew! It can be dizzying just thinking about it. I'm great at planning though. And the research part. Boy can I look and look and plan and plan. That's when the ideas start multiplying.
So, to make a long story longer, I'm enjoying this quilt. I love the colors. I love that the fabrics are all from "the stash." Which has grown - admittedly - too big. It's more of that planning thing again. But my husband had the nerve to comment that I could sew from now until eternity with the stuff I have. I know! I know! The nerve! So, anyway, it was time to stop collecting bits of fabric for the dream quilt and to just up and sew it.
And you know? I think I"ve been bit by the quilting bug. This is fun, these strips of fabrics. And I may even stop planning and just starting cutting for the children's quilts. Maybe. I can't promise though, because then I'll become contrarian and not do it. Okay? Are you still with me?
To the sewing machine with me. I wonder if I can finish the quilt before summer is over? I need a nice summer weight for my bed.
