Hopping around the WIP Blogs last week, I have come to the conclusion I am something of a crafting oddity never having more than two quilts on the go, I hope this doesn't mean I'll be lead astray...
So this week's quilt is my Drunkard's Path. The top is finished and I've got as far as the basting, but I am now waiting on the delivery of a free motion presser foot for my sewing machine. In theory my machine (a Pfaff Expression 3.0) does a beautiful stippling, but I've always been too much of a coward to try it, however this quilt is small enough to experiment with... I just hope it doesn't all end in tears...
You may recall that the larger baby quilt I made a few weeks ago was supposed to be a play mat? Well that plan's been scrapped, because as I was sewing this one it evolved into something that looked extremely like a play mat and in fact once I'd actually got the baby gym out of the box (you'd think I'd have done that before I made the first one, right?) I realised that the size and colours match it perfectly...
So the circle quilt is now going to be a more general cot quilt, which might just leave me free to indulge myself with one final pre-baby quilt. I saw this in a sewing book...
And it made me realise I can totally justify a little 20 x 24 inch crib quilt made with Moda's Sherbet Pips?
And after that, I'm torn between three projects, my choices are...
(1) Join the Summer Sampler Series and hope inspiration strikes me about what to do with all the finished blocks at the end!
(2) Make the Charming Stars quilt from the Moda Bakeshop in a Kingsize and possibly get it longarm quilted?
(3) Use my Robert Kaufmann solid charm packs to make something like this or this. But not actually quite sure for what purpose!
