But I wanted to post what I've been working on. These are are pretty much covered and just need their finishing touches.
This is a new autumn table runner. I used scraps from other projects, and found the green border and backing fabric when I was looking for something else. I'm hand quilting it in a pebble pattern, which takes forever, but is a relaxing project when I need something to do.
It's impossible to see the quilting. Once it's done I'll take a proper photo.
This is my latest baby quilt. I found 2 yards of pink fairy frost in my stash!!! Turns out hand-quilting this fabric is a dream! I've been looking for other colors online, but was faced with choosing between FAR too many color options, so I quit before buying a single thing, lest I buy a bolt of each and throw us into a serious debt.
I used part of my Dogwood Trail collection, as you can see. It looks very granny, but I'm totally in love with it, and probably will never give it away or sell it. The center is quilted in a big circular medallion, and surrounding it is just corner-to-corner straight stitching. I have the binding all ready to go, I'm just suffering from mid-summer lag.
Then there's my pride and joy, which I've being delaying on. I'm not sure if I should take a big risk and use an insanely beautiful and weird fabric I'm in love with as a thin 2nd border, or just chill out and make it normal. I think I'm going to let my inner freak finish this up, but the inner lion tamer keeps giving me good reasons NOT to.
Like the fields of eternity! The biggest quilt I've ever embarked on. I'm trying not to show too much of it. The majority of this quilt is supposed to be a surprise. *sigh* I really need to be over this indecision-hump. I should have started the quilting of this one by now.
