like Tartan I'm usually working on 2-5 at a time at various stages. Right now I'm trying to finish up the 3 customer memory quilts made from stretchy twill men's Wranglers and very worn snap button plaid cowboy shirts--and now enough of the pant fabric--was a real hold your breath moment while cutting! So here is that project in photos, and I'll post once they are quilted. But as soon as my order of SoFine thread gets here, I'm switching to a whole cloth quilt I'm hoping turns out like my brain sees it so I can enter into KC Regional Quilt Fest--have to have finished by March 1, plus another one for same purpose by March 1![ATTACH=CONFIG]564775[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]564776[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]564777[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]564778[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]564779[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]564780[/ATTACH]

Wanting to practice my new paper piecing skills, here I go, starting another quilt!
A surprising number of these fabrics were already in my stash, as these are my favourite colours. Then, I found the print (Which is going to be added in small doses and it's more purple than it looks in the picture.) and away I go.

Watson, those blues are scrumptious!!! Can't wait to see what you do with them. One of these days I will join in the fun. Right now I have several WIPs that I'm trying to finish up plus improve my FMQ skills. That's taking me forever!!!

Still working on the NY Beauty I started in July, but started a new wall hanging today to work on in between when I get sick of quilting the other.
Here's a pic of the fabric I'll be using. Singular. Which I'm not cutting up.
So far, it's just an idea. We'll see if it works!

I love the quilts shown and fun idea..... I started a patriot quilt today and tried paper piecing for the first time. Picked a more simple block to try and I'm pleased with results. First attempt at a panel quilt, too...
