So Close!!

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 :)

  5. I 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... ;)
    And I love Irish Chains. I can hardly wait to see it bound. Thank you for sharing.
