Yes, yet another new project. The scrappy fence rail is on hold until the back can be complete pieced (still waiting on a few more choice pieces). The tie quilt is in the works - about 1/4 of the center circle is together. Of course it's time to start a new project! But this one...is top secret. Not the quilt pattern or design. More the quilt purpose. So we have a sketch - 9 large patches (about 10" sewn) with sashing in between. Plus a larger border across the top and bottom of the quilt to make it less square. The material - scrappy of course! The background fabric for the 9 main blocks has been selected. A nice assortment of different colors. Now it's time to find the fabric for the appliques that will adorn each block. The best part about this quilt though (in my opinion) is the back. Because I get to make that one. Yes, a double-sided quilt. I thought it quite clever. It's a way to collaborate on a project, with very little actual collaboration. Match the two sizes and we're good to go! I've decided on pinwheels for my side, but I'm at a total loss as to what fabric I'll use. Definitely bright colors, but I haven't gotten more specific than that. Time to get to work on my design!
In other news...my machine is fixed! Ha! Maybe I'll actually get to do some quilting sometime soon. One can always hope.
