As I machine quilted last night Bruce kept me company - Bruce Lee that is.
I managed to get the clothing pieces that are in the center of the quilt done and a bit of the left side.  I am now 71% done with the machine quilting.  Yeah!
So I was thinking last night about what my next project will be.  I have quite a few UFO's I would like to get done!  Since I declared September as get it finished month for me, I looked around my fabric storage room and pulled out two projects.  This quilt is only at the beginning stages of being quilted. 
and I also pulled out my flannel pieces and parts.  I couldn't remember what I had.  After a quick sort, I have some nine patch blocks 
and I have a bunch of strips ready to be sewn together.  I thought I didn't have any solids to go with the plaids, but I did find some solid strips.  I wish I had some other colors like gray, a dark red, a cobalt blue, and a medium green.  If I would buy any I would probably get them from fabric.com since they have a great variety of solids.  The only thing is I would still have leftovers since it is better to buy a yard than a half yard.  Next thing I would need then is some more plaids to go with all the solid strips I have left and it would go on and on!  When would I stop?  LOL!!
I made this flannel quilt in 2014 as the family xmas quilt and I loved the way it came out.  This is what I have planned for the next flannel quilt too.
I am looking forward to this three day weekend!  Saturday is the opening for the Akron Art Prize.  I will be interested any the comments about my AC/DC piece.  I will finally get to see it hanging and take a better picture of it.
Have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteSeeing your pieces here made me yearn for my own UFOs........
