I was wondering if I should set up goal for May. I'm going to copy cat others and pick a goal from my FAL list. What a great idea! I'm going with Echino bag. Stage one - prewash the fabric - DONE! :-)
Have you heard about Jaybird quilts SAL? I'm trying out the mini Hex N More ruler so we'll see what I ended up with.
Do you have some strips in your stash? You might be interested in participating in Strip-easy quilt challenge. For more info check this post @ Pieced Brain. I might be playing around with these. Some scraps I got from a friend.
As usual I'm all over the place.
I love reading your blog simply for all the things you talk about! Going to check out that strip along. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of those pre-washed fabrics air drying. So pretty! Thanks for the strip along link ... I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI like your combination of strips in your last photo, lots of potential!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about the strip quilt challenge. I like your colours in the oblong hexagon project.
ReplyDeleteI like the bright colors on that hexi project. I suppose I should get a Hex N More ruler one of these days.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks good, I like that you've posted lots of different things. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics for your Echino bag. Now I just have to figure out what an Echino bag is. I love hexie quilts so I'll be waiting to see how the ruler works, for you. Finally, you've got to love scraps and those ones are lovely. I wouldn't know how not to be "all over the place". That's the fun part of working with fabric...and yarn...and beads.....see, there I go again.
ReplyDeleteI love Echino prints - I have the one on the right, and I may even have a bit of the one on the left, lol!
ReplyDeleteAlways great projects on the go over here!
ReplyDeleteWhat pattern if any are you using for your Echino bag? Still planning on a messenger style?
Ooo...I want a clothesline just so I can take pictures of fabric flying in the breeze! Delicious eye candy in this post. :-)
ReplyDeleteI saw the jaybird sal...looks awesome, but just don't think i can fit it in:) Can't wait to follow your progress!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link. I'm going to go check out the strip easy quilt.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see what bag you make. i have some of the same Echino fabric - waiting to be made into a bag!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing how each of these turns out. I have never made a bag, but I sure do enjoy admiring all the ones talented sewists like you make and share on their blogs! Like your hex progress! And those strips will make a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love that little pop of red in your strips. Can't wait to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteBusy equals fun, enjoy your month.
ReplyDeleteI love your bag fabrics and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your strips :)
ReplyDeletePrewashing the fabrics definitely deserves a place in the finished items list! :)
ReplyDeleteThese strips are very pretty, I am curious to see what you do with them.

I like the picture of the quilts hanging on the clothesline. Too bad I can't put up a clothesline just for pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from the new blog discussion group. Isn't this fun?!!
I love your fabric choices for the Echino Bag! They look so wonderful hanging from the clothesline. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
