- I should really do X project today
- Oh, no! I can't. I'm in the middle of Y project
which I started in order to avoid X project - And now the to do list is one project longer.
That is more or less the story of my newest quilt project.
Procrastinating machine quilting April Showers/May Flowers led to me making a list of Dream Quilts - quilts that I want to make someday or use as inspiration someday.
Making the list led to me staring at an unused jelly roll (a small one I got on clearance) and thinking about one of those Dream Quilts.
Staring led to cutting. Cutting to sewing. And minutes later I had 79 (very simple) blocks.
I have an idea where I'm headed with these - but 79 is an odd number to be working with.
I've narrowed my solutions down to two options:
- Make a rectangular top out of 72 squares and use the remaining 7 in the back
- Make 2 additional squares in coordinating fabric/s and make an approximately square top (9 blocks by 9 blocks)
So, if I still want to put off that quilting, I think I'll clear off the bed and play around with these two options. And dig through my stash for options that coordinate.
It's practically procrastination-proof - playing with fabric is more fun than just about anything else on the to do list!
