The past week was busy with activities including many sewing projects but not much progress on any one thing. Several mornings it felt like fall and was great to do some yard work with the cooler temperature. I pulled a UFO to sandwich but didn't decide how I wanted to quilt it so it sits.
Wednesday at church quilt group we started a joint quilt project by “creating a color palette”. We used the activity from Anna Maria Horner's class on Creative Bug and then shopped our church fabric stash. We enjoyed the activity and Mary Ann finished the first block using our chosen color palette.
I pulled an adopted UFO (as if I didn't have enough of my own) and decided on a setting for the blocks. I needed 6 more to make what I wanted so pieced the needed blocks. Now the project sits again.
I got the idea to organize my quilt patterns and UFOs. That felt good but there is not much to show for the time spent. I found a bag of folded squares and quickly made a folded star hot pad. The only problem was finding a coordinating fabric for the binding. This is the best I could do without buying something. At least I finished something.
Going through things and finding more UFOs can be dangerous. I found a project started in a class on distorting traditional blocks with Lura Schwartz Smith about 2005. I like the concepts from the class and would like to do something with the blocks I made so down another rabbit hole I went. It is more like playing and I'm enjoying being off track.
