Have you been to Rhonda's space over at Quilter in the Gap? She's started a great,
year-long-yet-manageable-in-quarterly-sized-chunks, initiative … The Finish-A-Long.
Yes ladies (and gents) it's a great idea to motivate us to finish all those WIPs and WIPs-to-be … there'll be … p r i z e s … *squeeeee … All you have to do is write a pre- and post-quarter post with your WIPs and progress that quarter and ching ching … in you go to the draw for some amazing stuff!
So, without further ado … These are my top finish/start items for this quarter …
1. Bletchley Park Quilt …
eek … I've got less than a month to complete this and this is as far as I've got …
I've cut, but not stitched, the applique pieces for the central window pane … I've practised, but not continued to actually make, prairie points for the flying geese border … I've agonised and faffed about and now this has got to STOP and some in the zone time has got to START!
If you haven't got a clue what all this is for, pop over here and you'll be all the wiser.
2. My second WIP is a tutorial for my twister mat cat bed … nearly there …
3. My next WIP is not even IP yet. Let's just call it a W. It was inspired by my choices for the Fat Quarter Shop Blogger's choice challenge over at Quokka's Quilts. I realised that I already had a variation of what I'd picked! Well, the Timeless Treasures Sketch fabrics and a handful of Kate Spain Terrain. I'm going to go back and delete my original choice and replace it if I get the time!!
It's going to involve the little stack you can see in the back of the last pic … that's all I can say … Not because it's for any secret squirrel project, just because I'm still deciding…
I'll be adding to this modest list of WIPs, no doubt!
Is anyone else playing along with Rhonda? What do you think I should do with that yummy stack? The base fabric is a wonderful pale turquoise linen ...
