Something New

Rwb One downside to being a fabric junkie with a very large stash, is sometimes I have a hard time deciding what to work on next.  I'm at that crossroads right now - getting ready to start a new challenge project, 3 samples to finish for the quilt shop, but also wanting to make something "just for me."



So this weekend, I finished this flimsy - a tablerunner from Red, White & Bold charm squares for the quilt shop.  I plan to machine quilt it myself, hopefully sometime in the next week (machine quilting is definitely not my forte).



Posh I also started cutting and planning a project using my Posh fat quarter bundle.  Here is a sneak peek at that on my design wall.  After sewing one test block this weekend, I was not happy with the look at all, so I am trying to come up with something else that will work.  I do love the fabrics, but I hate when an idea just doesn't come together the way you pictured it....

  1. Can you tell me more about that challenge? Is it open to anyone or is it for the shop?

  5. That's a cute tablerunner. I Like the wonky stars, very different. I agree with you on the Posh, whatever pattern this is isn't working. Cheer up, you will come up with something wonderful for it I am sure. I was hoping to get a lot done this past weekend on the new challenge, but ended up babysitting so did nothing, lol.

  7. The table runner is the cutest - those fabrics are so bright and happy! Your Posh quilt looks gorgeous to me - I don't know what look you're going for, but what you show is lovely to my eyes. I know you will successfully figure out what you want, and make a beautiful quilt!
