Early in the month,
I stitched my Colorwash 360
class project quilt top together.
I also quilted and bound Marathon,
and even added a sleeve and label.
On a whim I pulled fabrics from my resource boxes
inspired by the colors chosen by Bonnie Hunter
for her 2018 mystery quilt named Good Fortune.
(let's all say it together -- SQUIRREL)
In the weeks since that fabric pull,
I've changed my mind about how I plan to use them
which should come as no surprise
to those of you who know me.
I am not going to die cut half rectangles.
Instead, this will be the fabric pull for
my first quilt of Sujata Shah's
(nicknamed the U&UQA)
I'm looking forward to our January 7th start.
Feliz Navidad moved from fabric pull
to pieced blocks ready to be webbed together.
As I pieced those sixteen patches,
I also stitched quite a few pairs of squares
for one of several leader-ender projects
prepped for next year - all designed to
use my over-abundant stash of 2.5" strips
that have accumulated over the years.
And in the space of two weeks,
I conceived, designed, pieced, quilted, bound,
and gifted Busy Town to Little Man.
You can read that story here.
Now that I have a new plan for the BH fabric pull,
I've shifted the half-rectangles idea
to THIS fabric pull featuring
fabrics from Needle & Thread and my stash.
AND I finally finished up the current
AHIQ Maps and Mapping Challenge.
You can read my last few posts using the links below:
I'm curious to see what the
next AHIQ challenge will be.

I've also been thinking about
what I want to work on in 2019.
I'll be back to share those ideas on January 1st.
