Oh well,
I'm only a year and 5 moths late in starting!
This is my latest block so far
It needs more cowbell
Here's the first block I completed
with SRE daisies
and a good starburst seam treatment
The Tumbling Blocks stitch-a-long is still on Sharon Boggins Blog
if you want to partake or just go look
And a cloudy moon for the full moon that just passed
I think This is going to be an ongoing difficulty with this project.
I want to do it, but other things keep getting in the way
I have 20 or so dark blocks made and a few ideas beside the 3 I've done so far.
I may even revisit some older Ideas but no theme has yet revealed itself to me
And if I ramdomize myself too much I may not finish the project at all.
One 6"ish block a month is enough right? I don't have to finish right now, EVEN THOUGH
I started it late. I keep telling myself that, in between the times I wonder why I haven't finished yet.
Now that the studio is, mostly, finished and moved into I can start finishing projects that have been on hold for forever.
I just finished Quilt about 9 of the 14 flimsies I found in random piles some I put aside because they were too big for the space I had and some that got lost in the constant shuffle.
I also picked up 10 charity quilts for the guild I belong to, we have such a backlog of quilts that need quilting
and as I was nominated and voted in as secretary, I feel honor bound to get as much done there as I can.
I also have my own projects here and there that I want to do, It's hard to keep myself tethered.
Flights of fancy are all well and good, but there is a limit to what one can accomplish on your own.
As my DDH tells me all this pressure is self inflicted......
More cowbell!! Hahaha! Christopher Walken said everyone always says that to him. So once he told Will Ferrell, “you ruined my life!” 😂
ReplyDeleteOh, now let’s talk about your crazy quilting! 🤦🏼♀️. I love the clouds! Doing tumbling blocks in CQ has got to be a loooooong term project. I imagine there’s not that much room to develop such a large motif. Didn’t Sharon Boggon do a tumbling blocks CQ once?
ReplyDelete2 years ago she did a stitch-a-long on her Pintangle blog and on Crazyquilters international FB page I meant to join in then but had to many other projects in flight to pay more than cursory attention.
DeleteI have always admired her work and this quilt in particular, but to do it justice, I must give it my full attention!
Her Blog is a step-by-step guide if you want to see;
