New Works in Progress

Sometimes I just feel like I'm going in all directions,  but does that stop me from starting new Works in Progress???  Of course not ;)  It wouldn't be fun if you weren't starting new things at the same time you are trying to finish old things . . . am I right???   I started 4 new Works in progress this last weekend.  Luckily, we got so much snow over the holiday weekend, that I pretty much became a hermit and stayed in all weekend just pressing, cutting, and stitching!!!   It was so much fun :)

First off, I am working on a new sample quilt for my good friends at Moda. They are kitting up this super fun Hallo-Harvest quilt using the same named fabric by Basic Grey set to release in June.  I don't think I have ever made a Halloween quilt before, so this is a fun first.  And how great are those bats and stars!!!   Glad I have my Alphabitties for this quilt, because there are a lot of little pieces to keep straight ;)

My second new project is a Charity Quilt for UQSM.  I will be teaching there in April, (which I am so excited for!!!)  and they hold a quilt challenge/auction to raise funds for Sew Much Hope.  The challenge fabric for this year was 8 prints from  Jen Kingwell's Looking Foward fabric line.  I thought the bright happy colors were just perfect for a fun modern pattern, so I decided on my Back to Basics design.   And I figured, since I had so much fun doing a black background on my bright happy prints in my Pave the Way quilt back here, why not do another black background on these happy, bright prints.   I am loving where this is going!!!

And then I just couldn't not use up every little piece.  So I cut up all the leftover Looking Foward fabric I had into 3 1/2" squares and cut some grey solid squares as well.  I am thinking simple patchwork. Enter new WIP number 3.   It's for charity right, so why not make two quilts ;)   And I haven't made a simple patchwork quilt in a bit, and am excited to see all these prints just pop in it!!!

And last but not least, I started working on a new quilt pattern that I hope to release in early Spring.  I know right, I am still finishing up the typing of the other new pattern mentioned here (which will hopefully be ready next week!) but like I said in the beginning.  It wouldn't be fun if I wasn't starting new while still trying to finish up old.     And I just love the gorgeous prints in this Nova fabric line by Basic Grey.   I mean, you had me at that Purple!!!    I am super excited to see this design come together and am looking forward to sharing more as I get it done.

So yup, that is the new stuff I am working on.  How about you???  What New Works in Progress are you starting up???  Or are you trying to finish up some Old Works in Progress???
