I am so close to finishing my 2 Braided Irish Chain's. I got the bindings all prepped and now I just need to get them sewn onto the quilts. And I know you are thinking that will take forever to do . . . but remember, I don't hand stitch bindings thanks to my horrible hand stitching skills and my lack of patience. (And honestly, I think the bindings are more durable when machine done and durable is huge around this house :) These have been a long time in the works so I am so happy to just about move them to the Completed part of the WIP List.
And since I am just about finished with those two . . . I figured it was probably time to cut out my next WIP. I love Marmalade!! This is going to be a lot of piecing but I think it will go really fast. I am super excited to see how this one turns out :)
And I was having so much fun cutting, I just kept going, cutting into my Simply Color pre-cuts. Ah, these vibrant colors just make me smile. Can't wait to start piecing!
I have to say . . . I think this is the best my list has looked in a while. I almost feel like things are sort of in control, sort of :) But don't worry, I am sure the soon approaching holiday's will throw a wrench into all of that :)

ReplyDeleteohhh, I can't wait to see what you are doing with Marmalade and Simply Color but I realllllly want to see that Hello Luscious quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe Irish chains look gorgeous! Well done for getting all that cutting done!
ReplyDeleteI like your To Do listing style. Think I will embrace that method to keep myself ON TRACK. Distraction is both a blessing and a curse. Some of my best ideas for new projects come when I am chain piecing 482 HSTs... ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Irish Chains. I can hardly wait to see it bound. Thank you for sharing.
I also love how you organized your list at the bottom of your post. What a great way to visualize what you would like to do. The Irish Chain is beautiful and the fabrics you have chosen for your next projects are very nice. I can't wait to see them as they progress! :)
