Now why is it when your working on a project, not just necessarily quilting, that you feel the need to start another???? Is it OCD? Here I am, in the final stretch of the Snail's Trail quilt with only 3 sets of 3 blocks to go, and I find myself wanting to do something else!!! Craziness, simply crazy! At least it isn't a completely new project.
Back in 2004, I found a quilting shop that I loved, and joined a block of the month club. It was a Thimbleberries Hidden Stars quilt, and I was in love with the muted colors. I completed 2 blocks.
They are 12 1/2 inch blocks. It uses the Marti Michell templates, and was so easy to peice.Then, darn it, I moved! Too far to go the quilt shop anymore. I still have the templates, and have the kits for 3 more blocks.
The fabric was generous enough to make 2 or 3 blocks from one kit. And I was so enamoured by the muted colors, I had purchased some more coordinating peices in half yard increments. So I am trying to figure out how I want to go about finishing the quilt. I've searched the internet, and can not find one picture of the Thimbleberries Hidden Stars quilt finished. UGH! So I will have to be creative here. I have the Marti Mitchell sample book, so I can find other blocks to match the star theme.
The blocks are kinda of sentimental. They've gone with me from Texas to Arizona and back. I have thought about making them into pot holders.(God forbid!) I have come close to throwing them out, but when I looked at them, I find I'm just in love with the muted colors all over again, and want to finish it out. Sigh...I have two appliqued blocks with the same story too! I think I'll save that one for the next post. Then there is the two complete quilt tops in my closet, begging to be quilted. My new year's resolution was to finish what I started. I plan to finish these things this year. (Let's not go into the knitting, Okay?)
So enough blogging, my Snail's Trail beckons...I think I will knock out the last 9 blocks by tommorow. I'm going to find me a netflix to watch, and sew the rest of the night away!
